Overview

Mission

Our mission is to service the ongoing, short term, and emergency unmet food needs in the greater baton rouge area.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization will service the ongoing, short term, and emergency unmet food needs in the greater baton rouge area. This purpose is met through distributions to existing social service providers, congregations, food banks, and other organizations engaged in the fight against food insecurity. This activity is met through financial contributions to such organizations to facilitate the provision of services such as food collection and distribution, as well supporting, and providing, additional services such as educational programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 87% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
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

MIXED - 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 few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
