Overview
Mission
Through food, personal relationship, and the power of community, the organization breaks down barriers between people, empowers individuals, and strengthens neighborhoods. We believe in radical solution; solving problems at their roots by challenging the attitudes and structures that perpetuate suffering while building innovative models as creative alternatives. Begun as a soup kitchen in 1966, haley house, inc. Has grown into a multifaceted organization deeply rooted in two boston neighborhoods: the south end and roxbury. In the organization's 50+ year history, the organization has expanded creatively in direct response to the needs of those who come to our doors.
What it reported doing in 2024
Food, meals, and famring: each year, soup kitchen volunteers serve more than 36,000 made-from-scratch meals 9 times a week and distribute over 10,000 bags of food through the weekly food pantry. These programs are coordinated by a live-in community of long-term volunteers who donate their time in exchange for room and board. Haley house, inc. Is responsible for two plots of reclaimed urban land in roxbury and the south end, which provide seasonal produce for the soup kitchen, bakery cafe, and other programs. Other programs include take back the kitchen, a hands-on cooking program taught by professional chefs reaching over 400 young people and their families each year and the transitional employment program (tep) offering jobs and life-skills training for people returning from incarceration.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and liabilities are high compared with assets.
