Overview
Mission
Forever r children is a non-profit organization committed to ensuring no child or family goes hungry and without proper clothing.
What it reported doing in 2024
Meeting with local school administrators to establish food pantries in local middle and high schools, which later led to hosting monthly food giveaways in communities that lacked access to quality meat, produce and dairy products. In addition, annual trips for youth with disabilities have been a rewarding segment to our programming, as these students are often left behind and now are exposed to new and enlightening experiences. A host of frc volunteers worked to expand from just meeting food needs to more basic human needs by implementing the distribution of clothing, shoes, toiletry and household goods necessary to promote traditional household and hygiene practices. Frc has even had the opportunity to help some of our most deserving veterans meet transportation needs by gifting donated cars. The organization continues to provide coaching, guidance and support to some of ohios most at risk youth. This effort includes but is not limited to special giveaways at christmas and thanksgiving, as well as bike giveaways. Forever r children partners with the local project rise (funded through the Ohio department of education), is listed as a provider in the akron street card and the summit medina county united way 211: as an emergency food and hygiene provider.
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.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
