Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

Our mission is to love our neighbors by serving Waterbury. Through compassion and community engagement we aim to serve people change lives and transform our city. We envision a city where all are valued and no one goes hungry. In the past year alone we distributed over 100,000 meals to individuals and families in Waterbury CT demonstrating our ongoing commitment to meeting basic needs and creating lasting impact.

  • City Mission operates a Free Food Program that runs Monday through Friday each week dedicated to addressing food insecurity in Waterbury and the greater Waterbury area. Through strong partnerships with local organizations we are working to reduce hunger and ensure consistent access to nutritious food for both individuals and families in need.Our efforts include weekly distributions of non-perishable food items to ten partner organizations and community beneficiaries. In addition we host bimonthly events where we distribute over 150 pantry bags directly to residents and we organize monthly food collection drives at local grocery stores to help sustain our outreach. This program reached people over 35,000 individuals this past year.

    Expenses $26,444 · Grants $26,444

These sessions are tailored to serve a wide range of age groups including seniors parents students and families ensuring that everyone can benefit. Our goal is to unite communities and expand our impact throughout the Greater Waterbury Area by offering practical life-enriching education that empowers people to thrive. This program served 20 individuals and families per class.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

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.
