Overview

Mission

Improving the livelihoods and wellbeing of low-income residents by providing reliable access to free high-quality produce.

What it reported doing in 2024

Evergreen Produce Connection operated weekly free produce distributions under the Washington State Department of Agricultures WeFeedWA and Resiliency Grant programs throughout 2024 serving between 250 and 300 families per week with fresh and rescued produce alongside shelf-stable food without means testing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
