Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Community Kitchen
The Community Kitchen provides a noontime meal to anyone- no questions asked- seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Matt's House Shelter for Women and Children
Matt's House Emergency Shelter for Women and Children provides shelter for homeless women and children who have no other place to go. The residents receive an evening meal and a light breakfast in addition to a safe place to sleep for the night.
Billy Brumfield Shelter for Men
The Billy Brumfield House provides emergency shelter for men seeking a safe, warm place to sleep. The program also offers a drug-work transitional program and a special needs program.
Food Pantry
The Stewpot Food Pantry serves over 600 people a month. Each family is given a four-day supply of groceries to cover the entire household.
Opportunity Center Day Shelter
The Opportunity Center is a "home base for the homeless"; a safe place where the homeless can come during the day for community and resources such as laundry, mail services, and computer access. The Opportunity Center operates as an emergency shelter during the cold, winter months.
Housing Assistance
Stewpot's Rapid Rehousing program helps people move from homelessness into stable housing by providing short-term rental subsidies. Case managers help participants find the support they need, including job training and mental health resources, to stay housed permanently
Children and Teen Programs
Stewpot operates an after-school program for both children and teens during the school year in addition to a summer camp each year.
Clothing Closet
The Clothing Closet provides quality clothing for all who come to Stewpot. The Clothing Closet is stocked with clothing donated from residents of the Jackson Metro area.
Street Outreach
Stewpot employs outreach workers to go out into the community and form relationships with people experiencing homelessness, connecting them to resources and services available to them.
Meals on Wheels
Each weekday, staff and volunteers make and deliver plate lunches to 70 elderly, ill, and disabled people who cannot make it to lunch at Stewpot.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
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.
