We describe our work as Bringing Grace with a Box of Food. Each year, we deliver packages of food supplies to local households. Deliveries are made in response to requests for help at a time of specific need, rather than to a roster of repetitive addresses or to an entire community at once. In tax year 2023, we made 431 deliveries of food, a USDA equivalent of over 12,000 meals, to households representing 894 individuals, fully half of whom were minors (under 18) or seniors (65+) - including 294 children age 12 and under. Our experience is that, in at least half of our visits, prayer or spiritual encouragement takes place. This work was accomplished through the efforts of volunteers from Nashville churches who made many deliveries. We served households throughout Metropolitan Nashville. The significant value of services contributed by volunteers is additional to listed program expenses, over and above direct costs described herein. Additionally, financial gifts were provided to specific food recipients in response to their request for needs including auto fuel, phone service, shoes, bus passes, rent, utilities, childcare, prescriptions and medical care. These disbursements are appropriately characterized as gifts rather than formal grants, and the sum of these funds is included in program service expenses. 0 83170 83170 Joe Flautt Director, Board Chairperson 0.2 0 0 0 Chris Smeltzer Director, Board Vice-Chairperson 0.1 0 0 0 Roberta Bradley Director, Board Secretary 0 0 0 0 Gary King Director, Board Treasurer 0 0 0 0 Richard Koonce Executive Director 40 4552 0 10000 Jack Bailey Director 0 0 0 0 Richard Wood Director 0.2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Richard Koonce PO BOX 40662 NASHVILLE TN 37204 6153731261 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 101288 90927 82645 103785 82781 461426 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 101288 90927 82645 103785 82781 461426 141283 320143 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 461426 0 0.69381 0.92271 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^telephone;999|program costs incl food Bibles supplies cashgifts;83170|Administration and fees;1719|information technology;498^Total;86386^
