Overview
Mission
The mission of Westminster Cares is to create opportunities for seniors and adults with disabilities to live with independence and dignity in the community.
What it reported doing in 2024
2024 was a busy year for Westminster Cares as we provided services and support to older adults and adults with disabilities in Westminster. With most programs and services happening in-person, we continued to respond to the needs of the community and to assess what new needs may have emerged during the pandemic.Nutrition and wellness continued to be our main focus, especially feeding seniors through our Meals on Wheels Program. Although requests for home-delivered meals have declined since the height of the pandemic, we continued to need 2 delivery routes and 2 volunteer drivers per day. Throughout the year we utilized the services of the Kurn Hattin Homes kitchen, and Trio Community Meals for meal preparation, and we partnered with the Bellows Falls Senior Center as a drop-off/pick-up location. Approximately 4,200 nutritious meals were distributed throughout the year to 16 to 26 residents Monday through Friday. (An average of 350 meals per month with 30 different residents served throughout the year.) In addition to daily hot lunches, approximately 1,400 frozen entrees were also provided for those needing weekend meals. This was possible due to the generosity of one Westminster West community member and volunteer, who cooked and donated the weekend meals. Another generous donation we received from the towns Frank Miller Milk Fund, enabled us to distribute holiday bags overflowing with food items and treats to all Meals-on-Wheels recipients and other older residents in need. This year we were able to include something for pets thanks to a donation from the First Congregational Church of Westminster.
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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
