Mission and programs · 2023

• THE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN GROCERY PROGRAMS GOAL IS TO SUPPLY NUTRITIOUS GROCERIES TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN WESTERN CANADIAN COUNTY. WHEN CHILDREN ARE OUT OF SCHOOL DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND OTHER TIMES OF THE YEAR, THESE FAMILIES HAVE TWO MORE MEALS PER CHILD THAT MUST BE PROVIDED ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS CREATES A FINANCIAL DRAIN ON THE FAMILIES DURING THESE SCHOOL BREAKS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE HEALTHY, KID FRIENDLY GROCERIES TO FEED CHILDREN WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE GO HUNGRY. THE GROCERIES AND GROCERY VOUCHERS ARE GIVEN FIVE TO SIX TIMES IN THE SUMMER, AT SPRING BREAK, AND FALL BREAK. A FAMILY MAKES APPLICATION AND APPROVALS ARE BASED PRIMARILY ON INCOME. OVER 12,000 PEOPLE HAVE BENEFITED FROM THIS PROGRAM OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS.

  Expenses $102,357

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 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. 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.
