Overview

Mission

The weymouth food pantry is a neighbor-to-neighbor grassroots project aimed at ensuring food security for financially-struggling families in our town. Utilizing a client choice model, we put our neighbors in charge of their own food choices while also encouraging healthy eating habits. Nourishing neighbor-to-neighbor relations and providing nourishing food for all makes for a stronger weymouth and a better world.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our food pantry provides food to 450 families each month - that's approximately 160,000 meals per year. We are working to combat the high rates of diabetes and obesity in the families we serve by steadily increasing our supply of nutrient dense food choices and encouraging home cooking, especially with fresh produce. The weymouth food pantry offers food deliveries to people with disabilties, the elderly, and families living at a local homeless shelter. With the help of 110 volunteers, this program serves 8090 families each month.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 60% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
