Overview

Mission

The organization is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes as they pertain to healthy living and sustainability for all ages.

What it reported doing in 2014

Operation of a market where local producers of fresh produce, garden items and homemade food products can be sold directly to the citizenry of pooler, Georgia

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 62% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
