Overview

Mission

To provide assistance services.

What it reported doing in 2021

Programs provide assistance services to the community who meet certain criteria and guidelines for medical transportation, help connection, fellowship table, food pantry and emergency funds.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
