Overview

Mission

To empower community members with the resources they need to thrive while building community, fostering connection and inspiring a lifestyle of service.

What it reported doing in 2024

Food Distributions: Una Vida hosts regular food distributions that serve over 1,500 people a month. Recipients of our distribution shop in-person for the grocery items of their choosing. We also offer a delivery program for people who are physically unable to make our distributions due to health or mobility differences. Our food is provided by our partnership with the Redwood Empire Food Bank, our Grocery Recovery Programs with different businesses in Sonoma County, and generosly donated by individual donors.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
