Mission

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
General programming: a.c.r.e.s. Brings together food producers, sellers, and consumers to build an equitable and sustainable food system in north st.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $31k to $151k (+387%).
