Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To rebuild and strengthen communities by fighting hunger one meal at a time.

  • Mobile Meals - During restructuring, TGNCK paused the intake of new clients and only provided recurring services for its 600 non-Veteran and 220 Veteran clients fighting food insecurity. TGNCK ofered one- time assistance to those in need, who are not current clients, by providing 60 non-Veteran households (average 5 person household) with one-time support in the form of fresh groceries (meat, fruit, and produce) or gift cards. TGNCK has also fed 85 unsheltered homeless Chicago teenagers by providing backpack kits filled with food essentials easily preparable in any environment.

    Expenses $182,804 · Revenue $100,000

  • Hygiene Heroes - Provided three Chicago Public Schools, 23 Prince William County Schools, and three Fairfax County Public Schools with socks, non-persishable food items, and hygiene essentials on a recurring basis.

    Expenses $60,935

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.

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

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.
