Mission and programs · 2025

• IN 2025, THE OUTREACH CONNECTION MADE REMARKABLE STRIDES IN COMBATING FOOD INSECURITY AND EXPANDING ITS SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. WE PROVIDED OVER 221,000 POUNDS OF SUPPLIES AND WELCOMED 16,271 INDIVIDUAL VISITS TO OUR CLIENT-CHOICE PANTRY. THIS EMPOWERING MODEL ALLOWS CLIENTS TO SELECT THE ITEMS THEY NEED, ENSURING THEY RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS FOOD WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR DIGNITY AND AUTONOMY. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH OUR FOOD PANTRY, WE WERE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE 100 THANKSGIVING MEALS TO FAMILIES IN NEED AND 2,622 BAGS/CANS OF PET FOOD. WE ALSO PROVIDED 200+ HOLIDAY BREAK MEAL KITS AND 116 BACKPACKS FILLED WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE INVITED PARTNER AGENCIES TO SET UP WITHIN OUR FACILITY, ALLOWING CLIENTS TO ACCESS A WIDER RANGE OF SERVICES WHILE PICKING UP THEIR FOOD. THESE COLLABORATIONS INCLUDED ACCESS TO FREE PRODUCE MARKETS, SNAP ASSISTANCE, FAMILY SERVICES, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS, MAKING IT EASIER FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO RECEIVE THE COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT THEY NEED. THIS NETWORK OF RESOURCES ENHANCES OUR PANTRYS ABILITY TO MEET THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDING CLIENTS WITH THE TOOLS AND GUIDANCE TO IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING. BEYOND THE PANTRY, OUR RESOURCE MENTORS PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN OFFERING GUIDANCE TO INDIVIDUALS, HELPING THEM CONNECT WITH LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAMS. MANY PANTRY VISITORS ARE UNAWARE OF THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM OR FACE CHALLENGES IN ACCESSING THE SERVICES THEY NEED. BY UNDERSTANDING EACH PERSONS UNIQUE SITUATION, WE CONNECTED THEM WITH VITAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS HOUSING ASSISTANCE, HEALTHCARE SERVICES, AND JOB TRAINING. THIS PERSONALIZED SUPPORT EMPOWERS CLIENTS TO ACCESS THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AND WORK TOWARD GREATER SELF-SUFFICIENCY.

  Expenses $220,269

• COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WAS ALSO A KEY FOCUS FOR US IN 2025. OUR DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED AN IMPRESSIVE 11,648 HOURS TO SUPPORT OUR GROWING PROGRAMS. THEIR EFFORTS INCLUDED WORKING DIRECTLY IN THE PANTRY, ASSISTING AT 31 THREADS (OUR CLOTHING THRIFT STORE), AND SUPPORTING VARIOUS PROJECTS AND COMMITTEE WORK. 31 THREADS SERVES A DUAL PURPOSE. NOT ONLY DOES IT RAISE FUNDS FOR THE PANTRY, BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES AFFORDABLE, QUALITY CLOTHING TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN NEED. THIS INITIATIVE HELPS ENSURE EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY HAS ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE CLOTHING, WHILE ALSO FOSTERING DIGNITY AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THE FUNDS RAISED FROM 31 THREADS ARE ESSENTIAL IN SUSTAINING OUR PANTRY OPERATIONS AND SUPPORTING THE BROADER NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THROUGH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS, EXPANDED PARTNERSHIPS, AND THE INVALUABLE SUPPORT OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, THE OUTREACH CONNECTION CONTINUES TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND ESSENTIAL RESOURCES, FOSTERING A STRONGER, MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITY. TOGETHER, WE EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE.

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.

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.
