Overview

Mission

Meals and health services for seniors.

What it reported doing in 2025

The whitefish community center serves the senior population and the community as a whole by providing health, educational and enrichment activities. The center is a space to gather, build community and we offer a lot of opportunity to meet up with people through the activities we offer . The center coordinates the meals-on-wheels program with the help of many volunteers and offers an affordable, nutritious lunch every weekday at 11.30am. The toe nail clinic is offered for free to wcc members. In 2025, we averaged 10-15 receiving services. Also, there was a wcc member trip to the air museum in trego mt and wf mountain resort. The center can also be rented for personal, non-commercial use.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
