Overview
Mission
The purpose of the Corporation is to provide free home heating firewood assistance to our neighbors and to share the message of love and grace of Jesus Christ, promoting relief of the poor and distressed or relief of the underprivileged, and any other charitable and educational purposes which are permitted under the North Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act, Chapter 55A of the General Statutes of the State of North Carolina, and under Section 50l(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time (the "Code").
What it reported doing in 2025
We provided over 19 cords of firewood to 27 needy families in Transylvania County, NC during this past winter. We have receeived grants to acquire additional equipment that will enable us to reach more needy families in the upcoming years.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
