Overview
Mission
Henrico Christmas Mother provides charitable relief for low-income families in Henrico County, Virginia, during the holiday season. Qualifying recipients shop for food, clothing, books, and toys for their families, while seniors and disabled adults shop for food and gifts for themselves. We also help children in foster care, adults in adult protective services, and some in emergency situations.
What it reported doing in 2025
Henrico Christmas Mother provided food, clothing, books, toys, and other gifts to 1,638 families (4,696 individuals, including 2,493 children). We estimate that food for more than 124,275 meals was delivered through grocery gift cards and boxed non-perishable food. For many families, whose children receive free or reduced-price school breakfasts and lunches, the winter break is a hunger challenge, and the food they receive helps them to provide meals during the school vacation. Children receive warm clothing, hats, gloves, and socks in addition to age-appropriate books, toys, games, coloring books, and crayons. For many senior and disabled adults, the holidays can cause an increased sense of isolation and despair, and the Henrico Christmas Mother shopping experience allows them to feel supported and valued. Each receives a gift card for his or her own shopping in addition to the boxed food and grocery gift cards described above. In addition, they choose sleepwear or home goods, personal care items, and other gifts. We offer joy in the midst of a very uncertain and difficult time.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
