Overview
Mission
Create an ecumenical network of support, promoting coordination, collaboration, open communication and integration of the health care, social service and ministerial delivery systems in the community. Develop programs and service link or fill gaps in the existing delivery system.
What it reported doing in 2025
2024 Mission accomplished: 1. The Food Fairs have been transitioned to the agencies and churches at which The Jesse Tree established distribution sites. The recipients of the Food Boxes can now receive regular food service at these locations; therefore, the Senior Food Box Program is no longer necessary. The Jesse Tree Helpline connects people to these food distribution programs and helps them coordinate their healthcare and other social service needs.2. The Bilingual Information Helpline received an average of 35 calls per day;3. The Resource Coordination Program assisted an average of 35 clients per month;4. The Health Equipment Loan Program assisted 1,127 families with durable medical equipment and medical supplies during the year; Most clients were hospitalized at the Mainland Medical Center others were referred by various medical providers;5. Diabetes and Chronic Conditions Management Programs worked individually with clients referred by medical providers. 6. The Survivors Support Network assisted in 16 drowning (or near drowning) incidents in 2024 and provided services to the families of the victims and support to the lifeguards.
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 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
