Overview

Mission

Shipping care packages of goods to deployed troops and to veterans. We also have started shifting more to helping veterans with civilian life and their families. We are showing support to veteran families who have committed suicide because of PTSD. Our hope is to raise more funds so we can keep up with each of these services since they are all so important.

What it reported doing in 2024

Retreats for veterans. We set up camps where disabled veterans and or emotionally challenged veterans can come and feel relief. They are prayed for and encouraged and taught how to function in civilian life. We also deliver special benches to veteran families who have lost their veteran. Usually we try to deliver these on the way to retreats.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
