What Garrett Cooperative Ministry Inc does
Mission
Improve the quality of life for those of limited means and for those in crisis situations who live in the garrett county community. We do this by accepting donations of clothing, household items, books, toys, furnitures and appliances. We offer those items for sale at nominal prices and give them free to those who are referred to us by social service agencies and churches and can not affordto buy them on their own. Profits are given on behalf of those in crisis situations and in crisis prevention prgrams.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Giving furniture, appliances, household items, clothing to those in critical need as referred to us by social service agencies and churches. We give, for free, over 3,000 items each year to between 250 and 300 individuals and families who can not afford even our nominal prices.
$390,152 spent100% of program spendingWe accept donations of items of furniture, appliances, household items, books, toys, clothing, etc., from the public. We sort, cleanwhen required, and price the items and then offer them for sale at nominal prices at our thrift store, christian crossing thrift shop. Our customers are primarily, but not exclusively, those of limited means. We had over 24,000 customer sales to and estimated 2,200 different individuals and families.
We give financial assistance on behalf of individuals and families that are in crisis situations (security deposits, rents, utilities, medical costs, mortgage payments, etc) and to programs that are designed to keep persons and families from getting into crisissituations. So as to assure, as much as possible, that the assistance we give is truly helpful and does not simply enable inappropriate behavior to continue, we do not make any decisions with regard to financial assistance, but rely on the screening and recommendations of social service professionals in teh county health department and the county community action agency.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $2.1M to $2.4M (+13%).

From the IRS filings of GARRETT COOPERATIVE MINISTRY INC’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 GARRETT COOPERATIVE MINISTRY INC'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. $310 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.
