Overview

Mission

Peace house has a program to feed the homeless and the hungry. We maintain up to date information about local resources to assist people needing help with sheltering, food resources and other social services. We support efforts to bring related activities to our community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Rogue liberation library (rll) sends books to people in state prisons in the western half of the u.s., and federal prisons nationwide. Incarcerated people send us letters requesting books. We have a library of donated books to pull from, and we select books that best fulfill each request. We then package the books up and mail them directly to inmates. We sent over 5,800 books, to 1,978 prisoners in multiple states. Books are a gift to the person requesting them and are theirs to keep. They do not need to be returned.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
