Mission and programs · 2024

• WECAN IS A COMMUNITY NONPROFIT THAT PROVIDES SERVICES TO EMPOWER AND EQUIP INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO REACH STABILITY AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY. OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS PROVIDE CLIENTS A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE MANY LAYERS ASSOCIATED WITH POVERTY AND HOMELESSNESS. THE 4 CORE SERVICES THAT WE OFFER INCLUDE: EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO KEEP FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR HOMES WITH A ONE-TIME PAYMENT FOR RENT, MORTGAGE OR UTILITIES. WE DISTRIBUTED EMERGENCY PAYMENTS TO STABILIZE ABOUT 50 HOUSEHOLDS. FOOD SUPPORT PROGRAMS TO NOURISH CLIENTS WITH HEALTHY FOODS THROUGH MEALS ON WHEELS AND A MOBILE MARKET FOOD SHELF. LAST YEAR, WE ASSISTED ABOUT 1,900 PEOPLE WITH HOT MEALS THROUGH MEALS ON WHEELS AND DELIVERED ABOUT 500 FOOD BAGS TO CHILDREN IN NEED WHILE ON BREAK FROM SCHOOL. EMPLOYMENT & BUDGET PROGRAMS TO EQUIP AND EDUCATE CLIENTS TO BE SELF- SUFFICIENT. WE PROVIDE JOB COUNSELORS TO ASSIST IN RESUME WRITING, JOB SEARCHES AND INTERVIEW SKILLS. BUDGET CLASSES ENHANCE FINANCIAL LITERACY AND PLANNING FOR OUR CLIENTS. FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS TO HELP FAMILIES STRETCH THEIR BUDGETS. THROUGH COMMUNITY IN-KIND DONATIONS, WE DISTRIBUTE SCHOOL SUPPLIES, HOLIDAY AND BIRTHDAY GIFTS, WINTER GEAR, PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS. ALMOST HALF OF THOSE SERVED WITH FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS ARE CHILDREN.

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

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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.
