What Dependable Hands Incorporated does
Mission
The mission of Dependable Hands is to meet the needs of the homeless, needy, and less fortunate individuals in our community. We feed the homeless each week and provide a food pantry and clothes closet that is open to all. We provide clothing, blankets, hygiene products, and other basic necessities. As we grow, we plan to provide shelter, training, and education to aide the homeless and needy in getting reestablished in the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
During 2025, our efforts focused on continuing to feed the homeless and operate the food pantry and clothes closet. Food and other items were purchased from the North Alabama Food Bank and other stores in the community. Some of the food and other items were distributed to the needy in the community via the food pantry and clothes closet. Some of the food was distributed to the homeless and needy when we went out to feed the homeless and serve in the homeless camps. Volunteers staff the food pantry and clothes closet. Volunteers prepared and distributed the food given to the homeless. Nothing was sold throughout this process, so no revenue was gained. Expenses were incurred for the maintenance and upkeep of our local food bank and clothes closet. These expenses were met by the contribution from individuals in the community and the contribution from Dependable Hands' officers. The volunteers also brought and donated prepared food items when we served hot meals to the homeless. This helped to keep the food expenses low. However, as we continue to grow, we anticipate that the food expense will grow as well.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $4k to $14k (+227%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 0% · 2020 56% · 2021 70% · 2022 61% · 2023 85% · 2024 40% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of DEPENDABLE HANDS INCORPORATED’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $11k → $10k.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of DEPENDABLE HANDS INCORPORATED’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of DEPENDABLE HANDS INCORPORATED's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
