Offering healthy food choices through collaboratives with local markets, restaurants, farms, and more. We also offer personal and household necessities. The food pantry is open 3 days a week.

Population(s) Served

Warm breakfast and lunch is served Monday through Friday. Breakfast is also served on Saturdays. These meals are especially critical to those lacking access to a kitchen. In order to provide dignity for our guests we ensure our food is high quality, nutritious, and delicious!

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people

Delivering food, household, and personal care items to locations like recovery homes and area families housed in local motels who lack transportation. Our volunteers get to know the guests we serve well and are able to connect them with additional resources when needed.

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people

85 bags are packed each week with two days of healthy breakfast items and delivered to two local area elementary schools helping to lighten food insecurity over the weekend when there is no access to the free school breakfasts.

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people

Goal-oriented services that range from linking clients to available resources to intensive crisis intervention and, wherever possible, teaching skills for long-term wellness and self-sufficiency. Volunteer advocates collaborate with many local agencies and organizations and help to provide social services including assistance with doctor and hospital visits, court appearances, housing, mental health, legal, employment, clothing/food/personal items, emergency funding, substance abuse issues, and many more. Our advocate services are critical in ensuring we can best serve our guests in need and afford them the dignity they deserve.

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people

The Outreach Center hours are extended during Code Blue when the temperature is 32° or lower. Beverages and snacks are served, providing clients with a warm place to wait before being transported to local warming centers for the night, and again in the morning after release from warming centers.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
