What Kossuth County Food Pantry Inc does
Mission
Distribute food to needy residents in the area of kossuth county, iowa.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We are a traditional community food pantry. We raise funds for the purchase of food staples to distribute to the needy in our area. In additional, we accept in kind contributions of food for distribution to the needy. We maintain a facility solely for the purpose of accepting donations and storing and distributing food. All labor is performed by volunteers and we have no labor expenses. Excess funds, if any, are invested in interest-bearing instruments to create a reserve for purchasing food in times of reduced contributions or increased needs. Most contributions are small amounts from area church offerings and businesses, plus some limited support from local governments. In 2025, we provided nutritional assistance to over 7,822 people accross northwest iowa.

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 2024 to 2025, from $541k to $642k (+19%).
