Last reported: F2024 filing · period ending 2024-12-23
This filing's expense lines don't reconcile: program spending (line 5000) plus overhead (5010 + 5020) adds up to more than total spending (4950). Cents-to-cause and overhead can't both be right, and the filing doesn't say which — so this charity is left out of ranked search results for this filing year. We show both figures exactly as filed; read them together with this in mind, or check the public record ↗.

We work co-operatively to meet the spiritual and physical needs of people residing in the Municipal District of Provost Alberta. To this end the Provost Ministerial Association will operate the Provost Food Bank which through its volunteers provides food and supplies to individuals and families in the Municipal District of Provost Alberta who request assistance. We will also provide for other basic needs which are within our ability to meet. Our vision is to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ by providing the loving compassionate distribution of food for the sustenance of those that are hungry in our community and requiring assistance to meet their basic needs. Our guiding principles and values: Food Security - we wish all residents of Provost to be free of the fear of starvation and not resort to crime for food. dignity - we will keep client records confidential and encourage clients not to become dependent on our service long-term. Transparency - we will keep records of use to prevent misuse and maintain effective financial records. Our organization does not hold any formal fundraising activities or programs nor do we advertise. We are supported wholly by community donations. This remains the same.
