Overview

Mission

Food pantry for needy.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization operates a food pantry in rural western Maine for people who are below 150% of the federal poverty level or who cannot meet their nutritional needs due to a household emergency. It also works with clients to help solve the underlying issues that require their use of food pantrys as well as provide nutritional information through a volunteer nutritionist. All services are provided at no cost to the client. During 2024 the organization provided over 200,000 pounds of food to over 3,500 clients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
