Overview

Mission

Million meal movement feeds the hungry at home and the starving in our community while teaching people about the power of volunteerism. Since 2007, we have mobilized over 50,000 volunteers to provide over 36 million meals to the vulnerable.

What it reported doing in 2024

Meal packaging - providing millions of nutritious meals to hungry and malnourished children and families in central Indiana and around the globe.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 42% for direct work, and 58% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
