Overview
Mission
To compassionately provide a path to self-sufficiency by providing basic needs such as food, clothing and access to additional community resources.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our program serves anyone residing in Cudahy and St. Francis living in a household with an income at or below 185% of the poverty level. We will serve any homeless person or people referred by the 211 social services hotline, Red Cross and St. Vincent de Paul regardless of where they live. During 2024 we helped on average, per month, 1124 individuals in 417 households. We distributed over 350,000 pounds of food in The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)with an income limit below 185% of the poverty level and Stock Boxes for seniors below 150% of poverty. Sixty-five per cent of our households receive Food Share with net income below 130% of the poverty level. Thirty-one percent of our households have children. Sixty-nine percent are adults.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% 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 - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
