What it says it does
Help with emergent needs, the homeless and those in crisis, the needy through essential goods. Our 3 main purposes encompass: Collection Center- We collect new and pre-owned essential items, clothing and medical supplies. We clean, pack and prepare items for distribution to area agencies/charities and persons in need. Crisis Relief- We offer items for free or at low cost to replace lost goods and regain family stability. By doing this we allow individuals the ability to spend their money on essentials such as rent, utilities and gas for their car. Thrift shop: we will offer items donated at low cost to help the needy in our community to be able to buy clothes, furniture, shoes, and home goods to provide economic relief. This will also be a source of revenue for the sustainability of Mission Restoring Hope.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
