Mission and programs · 2024

• 4a. Musicians Mission of Mercys Compassionate Commissary program fills and distributes between 100 to 200 boxes (an average of 125 boxes) of shelf-stable food each week. The boxes are delivered to more than 30 distribution locations throughout Ashe County and into neighboring counties, as well as delivered by caregivers of local home health and mental health providers to their clientele.

  Expenses $211,854

• 4b. Field Team Visits deliver food and other life essentials to people in need who are unable to get food boxes from Compassionate Commissary locations due to physical limitations or lack of transportation. In addition to shelf-stable food, Field Team Visits secure and deliver fresh produce, meats, milk, eggs and frozen foods as well as personal care/hygiene items and paper products. The organization averages about 60 Field Team Visits per month.

• 4c. General Assistance shifted into high gear in response to Hurricane Helene. Because Musicians Mission of Mercy already had a distribution infrastructure in place with its Compassionate Commissary program, the organization became a hub of gathering and delivering life-sustaining supplies to people who suffered great loss to the hurricane. Musicians Mission of Mercy procured and delivered power generators, blankets, clothing, propane, tents, camp stoves, and many other items. In certain situations, the General Assistance program also provided cash and financial support for necessities such as electric bill payments and car repairs to help people maintain their lives and livelihoods. Thousands of people were served from September 27 through the end of 2024.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
