What it reported doing in 2025

"to provide service to those who cannot serve themselves in the north Georgia and chattanooga communities. Our goal is to furnish those individuals, families and organizations who do not have the ability to obtain adequate help, the professional tools necessary to accomplish this task. The organization was able to counsel individuals, hold group sessions and counsel at county jail houses. These services were provided to paying and indigent persons. The organization's indigent care goals were surpassed by providing services to those that cannot afford like services by credentialed and licensed counselors for families and individuals. Workshop goals were achieved by assisting hundreds in the community with no cost anger management and low cost or zero based training by qualified staff. Food assistance goals were achieved by assisting clients with much needed food and supplies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 70% 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
