Mission and programs · 2025

• Our organization operates a food pantry service distributing free food to around 150 families bi-monthly. We procure the food in advance and distribute it at no cost to individuals in need facilitated by our dedicated team of volunteers. This vital service ensures that vulnerable community members have access to essential nutrition fostering food security and support for those facing economic challenges.

  Expenses $63,486

• Our organization provides vital assistance to individuals facing financial hardship particularly fishermen by offering small grants for financial support and essential material resources. These grants are designed to help alleviate immediate needs and improve the quality of life for those experiencing economic challenges. Through this initiative we aim to make a tangible impact in the lives of individuals in need fostering resilience and stability within our community. In 2024 we provided support to approximately 25 persons or families.

  Expenses $8,132 · Grants $3,103

• Our Diaper Program provides essential support to families by distributing free diapers and wipes to those with infants and toddlers. This initiative alleviates financial strain for parents and ensures that young children have access to basic necessities for their health and well-being. We also supply coins for families who need help with laundromat expenses or paid showers. In 2025 we helped 36 families with this assistance.

  Expenses $9,452

• Our other programs are Educational support 6068; and Donations and Support to local non-profit organizations and events in our local community 4148.

  Expenses $10,216 · Grants $1,200

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. 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.
