Mission and programs · 2025

• COMMUNITY COOPERATIVE PROVIDES INNOVATIVE, DIGNIFIED, AND CLIENT-CENTERED SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS THROUGH SAM'S COMMUNITY CAF & KITCHEN, THE COMMUNITY MARKET ON DEMAND AND MOBILE FOOD PANTRIES. SAM'S COMMUNITY CAF & KITCHEN OFFERS NUTRITIOUS MEALS IN A WELCOMING, RESTAURANT-STYLE ENVIRONMENT WHERE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES ARE TREATED WITH DIGNITY WHILE BEING CONNECTED TO SUPPORTIVE SERVICES THAT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF FOOD INSECURITY. THE COMMUNITY MARKET ON DEMAND AND MOBILE FOOD PANTRIES OPERATE USING A CLIENT-CHOICE MODEL THAT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO SELECT THE FOODS THAT BEST MEET THEIR DIETARY NEEDS, CULTURAL PREFERENCES, AND HOUSEHOLD CIRCUMSTANCES RATHER THAN RECEIVING PRE-PACKAGED FOOD BOXES. THESE PROGRAMS INCREASE ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD WHILE REDUCING WASTE AND PRESERVING PERSONAL CHOICE. IN ADDITION TO GROCERIES AND HOT MEALS FROM OUR MOBILE HOT FOOD PROGRAM, CLIENTS ARE CONNECTED WITH SOCIAL SERVICES, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT PROMOTE LONG-TERM STABILITY AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY.

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
