- $474,104 spent. Child hosting: My Village staff trains, background checks, insures, and provides oversight for families to host children in their home for a short period of time while their parents walk through a crisis. My Village staff is the primary expense of this program as they are needed to train, oversee, and recruit volunteers. In 2025, MVM hosted 200 children.
- $8,374 spent. Benevolence - My Village Ministries provides care and support for families walking through crises, including grieving the loss of a loved one or even losing their home. The organization provides meals and other support to these families through the benevolence program, as well as support to the volunteers who are caring for them.
- $34,607 spent. Training - MVM spends a considerable amount of time and resources on raising up new churches and training volunteers within those churches to meet the needs of vulnerable families.

MVM trained 200 new volunteers in 2025.
- $8,374 spent. Benevolence - MVM's operations require two facets of hospitality. One is to engage in meetings with new community partners who need information about our services so that they can pass them on to their clients. MVM conducted approximately 400 different meetings with community partners, donors, prospective churches and volunteers over coffee, lunch, or in large sessions throughout 2025. MVM also provides hospitality services to our host families via clothing, gift cards, diapers, and other necessities needed in order to host children in their home.
