Overview

Mission

Food4kids program serves hungry students.

What it reported doing in 2024

Food4kids backpack program has established a foundation to serve chronically hungry students through 52 school partners, utilizing volunteers and community supports to maximize the resources needed for food and distribution supplies. Food4kids leads and coordinates with each partner school to identify students and for the distribution of the food directly to the child. These students receiving food4kids backpacks of 7-weekend meals have been identified as being at-risk of experiencing hunger regularly and suspected to be living in food-insecure homes.

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.
