Overview
Mission
Good neighbors helps connect individuals in need with food to help eliminate food insecurity.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, Good Neighbors provided more than 21,000,000 pounds of food, representing over $21 million in in-kind value, to communities in Florida and Upstate New York. We supported more than 90 monthly food giveaways that increased access for seniors, veterans, children, families, and individuals experiencing homelessness as well as partnering with more than 75 organizations, pantries and food programs to provide the food needed to extend our reach and provide increased food access to those in need. Good Neighbors expanded outreach to over 20 schools and strengthened programs serving more than 10,000 homeless individuals and families each month. Our initiatives continue to address food insecurity in the Tampa Bay region and Upstate New York by supplying essential supplemental food to vulnerable populations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
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.
