Overview
Mission
To provide charitable assistance through food distribution, educational programs, community outreach, and support services that improve the well-being of individuals and families in need.
What it reported doing in 2025
During the 202526 reporting period, The Ms. Reeder Project held 26 community outreach and meal-service events and provided approximately 2,695 complimentary meals throughout Walton County. These programs served teachers and school staff, first responders, youth, seniors, and individuals and families in need. Programs included recurring meals at Caring & Sharing, youth outreach at the Walton County Youth Detention Center, teacher and first-responder appreciation events, community and senior outreach, and meals for children attending summer camp.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
