Overview

Mission

Food for health, inc. ('ffh') is a Wisconsin nonstock corporation focused on preventing, managing, and reversing disease with people centered, medically tailored meal programs for vulnerable populations. Ffh also provides health-focused education and counseling for the individuals participating in the programming.

What it reported doing in 2024

We disrupt diet-related disease for vulnerable populations by delivering delicious, medically tailored meals; keeping participants active; and motivating them through well-being services, programming, and measurement.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
