Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Loaves, Fishes and Computer's (LFC) mission is to help local individuals and families overcome the digital and economic divides by providing low to no-cost computer systems, digital literacy classes, hands-on technology workshops and technology assistance/computer repairs for low-income individuals, families, seniors, veterans, children, people with disabilities and non-profit organizations while providing volunteers an encouraging and gratifying place to learn about computer science and information technology.

  • Device Distribution Program The Device Distribution Program provides individuals and families from underserved communities with access to free or low-cost computers and related equipment. Through this program, the organization refurbishes donated devices and distributes them to residents who lack the tools needed to participate fully in today's digital environment. By increasing access to reliable technology, the program helps bridge the digital divide, enabling participants to pursue educational opportunities, apply for jobs, connect to essential services, and build critical digital skills necessary for economic mobility and community participation.

    Expenses $159,778 · Revenue $148,589

  • Digital Literacy Program The Digital Literacy Program provides hands-on instruction to seniors and individuals from underserved communities, teaching them how to use computers, mobile devices, and essential internet tools. The program enables participants to access online resources, communicate digitally, and build skills necessary for employment, education, and daily life in the digital age. By increasing digital proficiency, the program helps reduce barriers to participation in modern society and supports economic mobility and independence for vulnerable populations.

    Expenses $315,527 · Revenue $353,636

  • Workforce Development Program This program provides experiential learning opportunities for students and individuals to develop practical skills in computer refurbishing, process management, and administrative support. Participants gain hands-on experience through structured projects that include refurbishing donated devices and assisting with program operations. The program supports students in fulfilling service hour requirements and completing capstone projects, fostering workforce readiness and career skills for underserved populations. Through this approach, participants build technical and professional skills to enhance their employment prospects and contribute to the organization's mission of digital inclusion.

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.

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.

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
