They are a 100% volunteer organization. From what I understand, no one draws a salary from their budget.
However, $200K more than covers their food needs for the next few years. I really wish we could find a way to make some of the money available for school supplies and clothes.
My sister in law teaches in lower Appalachia and the kids frequently come in with huge holes in their shoes and without coats .Its cold up there and many kids walk a ways to school or the bus stops. Clothing and school supplies are a major need right after food.

If this continues on a larger clip ($500k+), I'd imagine they'll work with other organizations in the region to share the proceeds, or transfer the funds to be managed by the regional community foundation for broader support as you mention.

Seeing as the donations are listed as going towards Athens County Food Pantry I'd imagine they have to get 100% of the money (legalities and all) but might be able to distribute some of it to schools for supplies and clothes once they receive the money.
