Overview

Mission

Food bank for low income individuals and families

What it reported doing in 2025

Mobile food program: we deliver food to those that are home bound and have no way to access the food bank in person. Each person is delivered a box of food twice a month to their door. Each box contains shelf stable food, fruits and vegetables, dairy eggs and a protein.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 91% of its reported program spending out as grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
