This year we served 4,820 neighbors, up from 3,950 in FY24, 3,200 in FY23, and 2,400 in FY22. Programs: community meals (38,400 meals across 3 sites, up 22% over last year), culinary job training (86 graduates, 71 placed in food-industry jobs within 90 days — an 83% placement rate), the mobile pantry (1,240 households reached monthly across 6 neighborhoods), and youth cooking classes (310 kids through 14 school partnerships). Revenue came to $2.14M: 48% foundation grants, 31% individual donations (2,600 donors, average gift $254), 15% earned income from our catering social enterprise, and 6% corporate sponsorships. Expenses: 81% went to programs, 11% admin, 8% fundraising. Include this quote from Denise Carter, a job-training graduate who’s now sous chef at Harvest Table: ‘Rootway didn’t just teach me to cook — it gave me a way back into a life I’m proud of.’ FY26 goals: open a fourth meal site in the Eastgate neighborhood, grow job training to 120 graduates, launch a community garden supplying 20% of our produce, and raise $2.5M.
