Overview

Mission

Hungry Hearts exists to relieve the suffering of the poor by providing basic needs(food, clothing, rent, ect) and dignifed financial assistance (craft project, micro loans to start business, ect). Our goal is to provide resources that will be used for the physical and emotional needs of the poor and outcast in our sociey and around the world.

What it reported doing in 2025

Presently, Hungry Hearts International provides an opportunity for refugee women living in the Middle East, who have suffered the loss of spouses, homes, and financial support to receive financial assistance through knitting (blankets, hats, sweaters, & gloves). This repetitive action is therapautic in dealing with their losses and the support gives the women pride and dignity being able to help their families. The items the women produce are distributed to other families in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
