Overview

Mission

Assisting needy families with food and clothing, as well as moral and emotional support

What it reported doing in 2020

Charitable grants of food and clothing, as well as programs to gladden the hearts of needy widows and orphans

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
