Overview

Mission

Hospital-prepared, dietician-approved hot meals are delivered on weekdays, by approximately 150 volunteer drivers, to home-bound individuals and others who are unable to prepare their own hot meal. In 2017 this service was transferred to Northland Shepherd's Center and continues.

What it reported doing in 2017

Approximately 41,200 hot meals were delivered to clients, Monday through Friday, annually. The nutritious meal and daily weekday visits help support the clients as they continue to live independently in their own homes. In 2017 this service was transferred to Northland Shepherd's Center (NSC) where it continues. NSC is an IRS qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 43-1567162.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 78% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
