Program
The green cares food pantry (pantry) was established in 2009 and previously operated under another tax-exempt organization, southwestern wisconsin community action program (swcap). In 2022, the pantry was granted its own tax-exempt status and has now undertaken its mission and activities under its own entity.this pantry provides food to low-income families in green county, wisconsin, and is currently the largest food pantry in green county. Its goals are to assist in providing the basic needs for low-income clients by ensuring all people have access to nutritious food, especially the youth and elderly; to promote quality of life for all; to serve as an advocate for low-income citizens and to promote community engagement.in 2025 the pantry served a total of 3,093 households with a total of 7,921 individuals. Of these 30% were children under the age of 18, 41% were adults aged 18-59, and 29% were adults over the age of 60. There are 3 different pantries each week at various times for a total of nearly 40 hours a month staffed by all volunteers. Our goal is simply to see that no one goes hungry in green county.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2024 to 2025, from $502k to $567k (+13%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund GREEN CARES FOOD PANTRY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 82% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 71% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $65k 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.
