Overview

Mission

To meet the physical, spiritual, and health-care needs of low-income residents in east Texas by providing relief, education, and medical services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Food pantry - mainly staffed by volunteers, we serve approximately 150-200 struggling families weekly with donated fresh produce and select shelf stable goods benefitting an average of 2500-3000 total family members per month from 17 local zip-codes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
