Overview

Mission

To support the most vulnerable in our community who lack access to the basic needs of food and shelter and assist them in moving towards self sufficiency.

What it reported doing in 2025

Respite Housing: Provided over 50 unique individuals with over 250 nights of short motel stays for respite from inclement weather for medical reasons for families with children and for victims of domestic violence. Grant period is from 7 1 2025 - 7 1 2026

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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
