Overview

Mission

To provide relief from the afflictions of poverty in our community. Our inspiration for this ministry is found in Matt 25:34-40 nd Prov 19:17. We look to provide both short term and long term assistance to the homeless and poor in our community.

What it reported doing in 2020

The organization provides meal services and short term temporary, housing assistance to the homeless, serving Approximately 35,000 persons in 2020

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
