“Additional information - the mountain on masters road (the mountain) partners on many program events with the church on mastersroad. They also receive donated facility space from the church to house the operation of the well. The mountain aims to help all people in need, not just those within the local area. While no changes have been made from the prior year 990 on the programs services offered, they have revised their mission statement to reflect the broader scope of the organizations intended purpose.”

“Every event hosted and every program offered by the mountain on masters road is made possible through generous volunteers who give of themselves to serve the community. - these amazing volunteers handle everything from preparing the facility, acquiring food, coordinating pickup/delivery, unloading items from delivery trucks, prepping and bagging food items for distribution, assembling a balanced diet for each client family, loading food into the clients vehicles (or delivering food to homebound clients), and cleaning the facility after distribution. On top of these operational duties, there are various administrative tasks that constantly need attention. Local permitting, agency inspections, volunteer training, and administrative recordkeeping must be consistently maintained. -during 2024 the well on mastersroad, the food pantry, had a weekly average of 65 volunteers who worked to distribute food to over 530 families per week. For the annual back 2 school bash, there were approximately 120 volunteers who gave about 600 hours of their time to help local students get the backpacks and other supplies they needed to start the new school year right. -all other events and give-aways are also driven exclusively by volunteers. These hours included hosting clothing drives, sorting clothes, picking up donations, shopping for school supplies, sorting the supplies, and stuffing backpacks in addition to hosting the actual give-away event and all the many administrative tasks involved. -the board of directors is an extremely dedicated all-volunteer leadership team that dries the operations and provides direction for the organization, in addition to actively serving alongside the other volunteers during the community programs hosted.”
