Overview
Mission
The primary mission is to provide food at no cost to people who need food and cannot otherwise afford to purchase it. We purchase all food with money donated from business and individuals and support the needy of jackson county and surrounding areas.
What it reported doing in 2025
The community cupboard is open every week to provide food at no cost to people who need food and cannot otherwise afford to purchase it. The cupboard currently helps approximately 75-100 families per week
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 65% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
