About NORTH ELLIS COUNTY OUTREACH INC

North Ellis County Outreach (NECO) is a long-established 501(c)(3) community charity serving Red Oak and nearby towns with emergency groceries, utility assistance, clothing, senior/disability monthly support, holiday meals and a Santa Tree program. The organization operates a thrift store (Pennies From Heaven) that underwrites administrative overhead so donor dollars go directly to client assistance.

NECO is an operating, donor-facing nonprofit with IRS/filing records under EIN 75-2418371. Recent IRS Form 990 filings (through the 2022–2023 filing cycle) show the organization operating at a scale of several hundred thousand dollars in annual revenue and maintaining over $1M in net assets, underscoring sustained community support and program activity within the last 2–3 years.

Notable achievements

Sustained financial scale (2022–2023)

Recent years of IRS Form 990 filings show annual revenues in the mid-six‑hundreds of thousands and net assets exceeding $1M, reflecting steady community support and operational continuity.

Thrift store funding model

Pennies From Heaven thrift store has grown into a primary earned‑revenue source that covers NECO’s overhead; the store’s substantial gross receipts have allowed the agency to direct donations to client assistance rather than administrative costs.

Longstanding local service and partnerships

NECO traces its roots to community outreach efforts beginning in 1979 and has built formal partnerships with local churches, TXU Energy Aid and regional food‑bank networks to expand emergency assistance across its service area.
