Program accomplishments
- We are a Christian faith-based ministry and food pantry. We receive surplus food from food-related businesses and food donations from churches, individuals, and organizations. We make this food available to recipients on a monthly basis. Approximately 3,000 households directly receive the Organization's food each year, for the benefit of nearly 8,500 persons, as well as various neighboring not-for-profit food pantries and charitable organizations for the benefit of additional people in our service area. We also receive a relatively small amount of non-food donations that we also distribute to our clients. Our monthly average for distributions of food was about $116,000/mo and $500/mo of household supplies.Expenses $1,474,742
