Mission

EL BUEN SAMARITANO FOOD PROGRAM (EBS) HAS WORKED FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES TO FIGHT FOOD INSECURITY IN WORCESTER'S MAIN SOUTH AND MAIN MIDDLE NEIGHBORHOODS, ACTING NOT ONLY AS A FOOD PANTRY BUT AS A COMMUNITY CENTER. EBS PROVIDES OUR COMMUNITY WITH NUTRITIOUS FOOD, INCLUDING FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, THAT MAY NOT BE AFFORDABLE OR ACCESSIBLE TO RESIDENTS FACING FOOD INSECURITY.

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
