01What it does

What Choice Books of Kansas Inc does

Mission

The mission of choice books of kansas, inc. Is to share the good news of jesus christ in the secular marketplace through inspiring and wholesome reading material.

As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.

Program

Our primary purpose is to provide christian and inspirational books in the public market place. In this reporting period, we delivered/sold 384,000 new & bargain books (to retailers) from five inventory districts (+ 1 sub district) located in the following states: ks, ar, (ok), co, nd, and il. These books were sold at wholesale price and stocked on displays in the retailer facility by our staff of approximately 30 full and part-time employees.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
