Specifically, the purpose of Spirit of Matthew 25 is to renew hope through generosity and love by offering food and supplies to the poor, distressed, and underprivileged in the eight-county region surrounding Coon Rapids, Minnesota, including the following counties: Anoka, Chisago, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Sherburne, Washington, and Wright. Our program goal is to give away food to people in need. In 2024, Spirit of Matthew 25 donated $1.5 million dollars' worth of food and supplies to 27,000 people with the help of 14,000 volunteer hours. The food was acquired via food rescue from our food donation network. We held 52 Friday Food Giveaways where people could choose what they want/need from available options including protein/meat, produce, pantry, dairy, bread, bakery, and miscellaneous items. We held 12 Drive-through Food Distributions where each household received approximately $75 in groceries. We also made 24 deliveries of free groceries to 70 people at twoo subsidized apartment complexes. This is important because these families have low incomes, and many do not have transportation to get to other food shelves. We packed over 1,000 bags of nutritious, culturally relevant food in needy elementary students' backpacks at Mississippi Elementary in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. This is important because it provides food over the weekend when school meals are not available. Additionally, we supported 100 students experiencing homelessness at Coon Rapids High School through our Dignity Pantry which is located at the high school. We contributed food, hygiene items, gas cards, clothing items, and reusable water bottles. Finally, we provided a Community Garden where we offered 13 free garden boxes to the public and also had space to grow our own produce for the Friday Food Giveaway. In 2024, we provided an extra 1,800 servings of produce for the giveaway. 0 44697 44697 Sue Lehrer President & Chair 20 0 0 0 Evelyn Nelson Vice-chair 15 0 0 0 Tammy Gallagher Secretary 20 0 0 0 Lisa Schultze Treasurer 6 0 0 0 Wendy Dorholt Director 20 0 0 0 Dianna Foltz ex-officio member 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN Lisa Schultze 10506 Hanson Blvd NW Coon Rapids MN 55433 7637556990 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 0 0 83527 83527 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 83527 83527 0 83527 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 83527 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Part I, Line 16 OTHER EXPENSES Administrative Expense Computer software 2,894.89 License & Filing 715.54 Online donation fees 26.01 Total Administrative Expense 3,636.44 Operating Expense Equipment 9,307.86 Food 15,066.91 Mileage 14,465.13 Program Mgmt.
