Overview

Mission

The Spots mission is to provide free school supplies clothing food and shoes to students in grades UPK-12 in the Canandaigua and Victor school districts. We have a number of program elements to serve students and their families: In-School Resource Rooms Back-to-School Supply Event Snack Program and In-School Food Pantry Concert Loaner Closet and Laundry Support.

What it reported doing in 2024

The FEEDING PROGRAM encompasses both a school-based food pantry and daily classroom snack support. Many families in the Canandaigua and Victor School Districts fall within the ALICE population and these programs help bridge the gap for families facing food insecurity. While exact monthly registration varies this program served an average of 75 families per month with distribution of food bags and served over 900 snacks to students each month.

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

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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
