Overview

Mission

Health and Welfare organization serving low-income, senior citizens and others in need of assistance in Warren County.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Assistance - Emergency Services & Nutrition and Cooking Classes; Retired Senior Volunteer Program (an AmeriCorps Seniors program) provides meaningful volunteer opportunities for retired persons aged 55 and over; Title III senior services; Literacy Connections offers adult basic literacy and English as a second language for anyone in Warren County seeking to make gains and improve their English literacy skills; and Senior housing management services - WCCS is the nonprofit sponsor for 11 affordable senior housing sites scattered throughout Warren County.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - 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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
