Overview
Mission
Our mission is to ensure that every child in collier county facing food insecurity has reliable access to nutritious breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and take-home meals, regardless of their family's means. We operate a local commercial kitchen to prepare and daily-deliver meals, and we partner with the state of Florida food reimbursement programs, along with generous donors and fundraising efforts, to sustain our initiatives. Beyond meal provision, we offer programs that foster healthy eating habits and lifelong nutrition education for children and their caregivers.
What it reported doing in 2025
Education "eat this not that" - an in-house program led by a board nurse practitioner that educates families on healthier home food choices. The program begins with an initial health evaluation, includes at-home visits by a nurse practitioner to conduct a pantry assessment and recommend healthier options, and provides access to our free nutritional app to support informed shopping. Follow-up visits ensure ongoing guidance.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 65% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
