Overview

Mission

Provides free full meals to hungry persons in our community

What it reported doing in 2025

Our free hot meal program provided a complete nutritious meal all 366 days of the year to persons regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation or national origin. Meals were prepared and served by volunteers working at one of two meal sites provided by local churches First Christian Church and First United Congregational Church of Christ. We prepared extra food that was delivered in bulk to be served nearly simultaneously at the Hygiene Center, co-located with the Mens Shelter in Corvallis, four days a week. Once a week, we also prepared some hearty soup to be served at the Mens Shelter during weekends. We encouraged congregate dining at our meal sites while continuing to provide packaged meals for those who preferred take-out. The use of kitchens and dining rooms at our meal sites was provided free of charge or at low cost by our host churches. We prepared 41,388 meals in 2025, averaging 113 meals per day.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
