Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To reduce the incidence of hunger and malnutrition in Mecklenburg County by procuring and distributing groceries to people facing economic hardships and to deliver daily meals in a caring and friendly manner to individuals in our community who are unable due to age or infirmary to prepare their own meals.

  • During our fiscal year through a network of 35 food pantries, including a grocery home delivery program, nutritious food was distributed to 98,676 people in our community in need. Through our Meals on Wheels program, healthy prepared meals were delivered to 330 recipients who live in their own homes but are infirm and cannot prepare meals for themselves as well as to three adult/child daycares.

    Expenses $5,667,141 · Grants $3,141,721

  • Nourish Up delivers more than 300 meals daily to the elderly, handicapped, and convalescing people who are unable or greatly restricted in their ability to prepare or secure meals and who reside within an area we can reach with our corps of drivers. Deliveries are at the lunch hour but the meal is a full one, more like what many people are accustomed to for dinner. This meal consists of two separate containers, one with meat or fish, vegetables and such, the other with carbohydrate, salad or fruit and dessert. Diet orders are obtained for all clients from their doctors, and a range of special diets are available to fill doctor's written orders for certain medical conditions. While all recipients are asked to pay for the meals based on their ability to pay, recipient income alone does not pay for Nourish Up. Sponsors include approximately 80 faith-based communities and organization, as well as civic organizations and businesses. Other groups welcome donations of time as volunteers or as donors of the financial resources that allow us to serve all who need nutritious meals.

The first 25 listed. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
