Overview
Mission

There were 16,429 total sales amounting to gross receipts of 120,407. The average sale was 7.32. This low sale price on all items helped multiple families in need.

The collection of cash donations and donated clothing and household goods and the resale of those donated items to the poor at below-market prices
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 90% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- 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.
