Overview

Mission

Our organization helps families in emergencies we support local organizations that help women and veterans.

What it reported doing in 2025

We provided food baskets and gift cards to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
