Overview

Mission

Shasta senior nutrition program assists seniors and individuals to independence by providing meals, transportation and recreational activities to enhance their dignity and encourage continued involvement in the community.

What it reported doing in 2016

Consolidated transportation service agency provides transportation to seniors ages 60 and above, their spouses, and mobility impaired people ages 18 and above.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
