What Wayne Township Pantry and Senior Services Nfp does
Mission
The sole purpose of the food pantry is to provide food and basic needs items to indigent residents of wayne township who are on a very limited income and/or are facing a financial crisis. We assist those individuals so that they can successfully work toward self-sufficiency. The senior center provides seniors with various medical supplies on an as-needed basis and has a lending library for books on tape, movies, dvds, and other informational materials. The center also provides specialists to assist with the needs of seniors.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2019 to 2020, from $93k to $598k (+542%).
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: 2020 85% · 2021 66% · 2022 15% · 2023 12% · 2024 8% · 2025 29% · 2026 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
