What Homebound Meals Inc does
Mission
The Organization's mission is to assist shut-ins, usually the elderly, by delivering hot, nutritious and low-cost meals to them in their homes.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
The organization delivers meals to an average of 147 individuals daily. The meals are purchased by the organization from local hospital cafeterias and then sold to the consumers, as the consumers are able to pay.
$533,826 spent100% of program spendingThe organization employs an executive director and staff who are primarily responsible for coordinating the efforts of numerous volunteers, the intake on the organization's consumers, the acquisition of goods to provide to the consumers, other aspects related to the management of the organization and the development of funds which allow the organization to continue providing services to the community.
The organization serves its clients - who are not able to independently leave their homes to obtain meals - by delivering the meals to the clients at their home. Volunteers drive in excess of 40,000 miles in delivering such meals.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $533,826.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $714k to $778k (+9%).
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: 2023 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 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.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
54% of Homebound Meals Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
Homebound Meals Inc draws 60% of its grant income from funders outside Indiana, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $61k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states 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.
