Overview
Mission
To distribute food and provide resources for low income, needy, and vulnerable populations. Our programs and activities strengthen the community and create a positive environmental impact.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our Free Food For All initiative operates a robust Grocery Surplus Recovery Program that feeds into many other community collaborative and environmental impact programs including Meals for Kids and Art in the Park, Community Food Delivery, Saturday and Sunday Really (Really) Free Markets, The Free Burrito Project, and Pop Up Grocery Giveaway. With the dedication of an average of 40 In Service Members volunteering every month, For All diverted over 175 tons of viable food from being shipped to landfills in 2024 alone through these food redistribution programs, which is the equivalent of 295,990 meals served in one year. This is the carbon equivalent of 12,250 trees being planted and grown for 10 years, creating a positive environmental impact that benefits society and the planet.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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.
