Overview

Mission

The City Eats is an organization dedicated to unifying the community through the purpose of eradicating hunger and providing resources amongst the unhoused and low-income individuals across the world. We prepare and distribute healthy balanced meals personally, with love, care, and compassion on a weekly basis.

What it reported doing in 2024

Since 2014, weve raised awareness of homelessness and otherwise forgotten communities and individuals. What started as a dream to help a few people in our local community has already become a nationwide movement. To date, The City Eats has managed to help serve an estimated 5,000 families and individuals through our feeds and we aim to increase that number every month.The City Eats now supports international projects in the Philippines, Ghana and Brazil.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
