During the year ended December 31, 2024, 204,619 pounds of food was donated and 198.480 pounds of food was provided for over 4,249 families and 10,463 individuals in Colville and the surrounding area.

Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 88% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

MIXED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
