Overview

Mission

Reaching under-served individuals with food support

What it reported doing in 2025

Forever fed provided over 776,000 pounds of food support to 16,791 households in 2026. These households contained a total of 51,273 individuals. Of those individuals, 21,788 were children and 7,173 were senior citizens. All families were verified as being at risk of food insecurity. Our distributions include drive-thru food pantries, self-select food pantries, home-delivered groceries, and weekend meals for students at three elementary schools.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 73% for direct work, and 27% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
