Overview
Mission
The primary mission of the organization is to provide meals to the underprivileged families in the community and to assist other non-profits with causes in the same scope.
What it reported doing in 2018
General expenses were incurred in the quest to help raise funds to feed the hungry in the community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 91% 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 the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
