What Food Assistance Inc does
Mission
Fai-groceries on wheels offers food, friendship and hope to improve health and wellness to low income and disabled seniors in guilford county. It is volunteer driven.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Normal operations of the organization ceased on january 1, 2021. During final distribution of assets, cash donations totaling 8,045 were given to 501(c)(3) organizations with related missions of providing food assistance to those in need. Minor equipment owned by food assistance was also donated to one of the organizations to assist in warehouse operations.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $37k to $133k (+259%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $107 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.
