Overview

Mission

Charitable - Education. We exist to provide free services to community that is underserved in our county. The services range from health education, vaccine support, food distributions, fiber arts instruction, family sessions, civic trainings and young adult internship support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Food Program serves food-insecure residents with 2X per mo. food distributions in 2 communities with approx. 100 food boxes to 100 families per event. Program also stipends youth interns to serve the community with material support learning how social services are delivered. Community Gardens and STEM classes also taught to 10 familes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
