Bogg Ministries

What Bogg Ministries does

Bogg Ministries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit food ministry headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, founded in 2010 to address food insecurity across the Dayton metropolitan area. Its core program, branded "Mobile Meals," consists of recurring community food distribution events held in Miamisburg, Xenia, Moraine, West Carrollton, and Centerville, where families experiencing food insecurity pick up groceries at no cost; recent weekly events have served between 50 and 184 households, with single-week distributions reaching 12,000-13,000 pounds of food. The organization supplements Mobile Meals with community cookouts, volunteer coordination, and a corporate sponsorship program that places donor logos on its distribution trailers at a $10,000 annual contribution level.

The operating model is intentionally low-tech and volunteer-driven. Bogg runs on 1-10 paid staff, manages a single warehouse at 9095 Washington Church Rd in Miamisburg, and reports only $2,000 in annual marketing spend. There is no proprietary technology stack; the organization relies on a WordPress website (thebogg.org), an Instagram account (@boggministries) for organic community outreach, signup.com for volunteer scheduling, and PushPay for online donations. The bulk of "revenue" is in-kind food — $1,244,441 of $1,492,612 in FY2025 — which is sourced from food bank partners and grocery donors and passed through directly into community distribution rather than monetized.

Financially, the organization is a contribution-pass-through entity: FY2025 revenue of $1,492,612 was offset by $1,458,296 in expenses, primarily Food Events ($1,076,933), yielding net income of just $34,316. Bogg is supported by individual cash donations ($221,201) and a small grants/sponsorships layer ($27,000), with local partnerships — notably Redbird Pizza (in-kind food) and FC Dayton (youth volunteer labor) — extending operational capacity without paid headcount expansion. The organization carries no funding rounds, no parent or subsidiary entities, no leadership team disclosure beyond a single named contact (Jason Johnston), and no patents, regulatory actions, or M&A activity.

Others

• United Way of the Greater Dayton Area: Local umbrella funder that channels corporate and individual donations to social service agencies in the Dayton region, including food assistance nonprofits. Comparable donor base and corporate sponsorship overlap, though operating as a grantmaker rather than direct service provider.

Direct peers

• St. Vincent de Paul Dayton: Faith-based nonprofit providing food, clothing, and household assistance in the Dayton region. Highly comparable mission, beneficiary base, and volunteer-driven model, with similar in-kind and cash donation mix.
• Xenia Area Fish Food Pantry: Community food pantry serving Xenia, Ohio — one of the same communities Bogg Ministries serves. Highly comparable hyper-local food distribution model, though smaller scale and narrower geographic focus.
• Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley: Local Catholic-affiliated social services organization serving the Miami Valley (Dayton region) with food pantries and emergency assistance. Direct overlap on geography, beneficiary population, and faith-rooted mission.
• Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana: Regional food bank distributing millions of pounds of food annually through partner pantries. Comparable in-kind-heavy revenue model and event-based distribution, though at substantially larger scale.
• Salvation Army Dayton Area: Regional chapter of a national nonprofit providing food assistance, emergency relief, and social services in the Dayton metro. Comparable on food distribution programs and donor-supported funding model.
• The Foodbank (Dayton): The regional food bank serving the same Dayton metro area as Bogg Ministries. Direct peer on food distribution mission, geography, and donor pool, though operating at a much larger scale as a Feeding America affiliate.

Broad incumbents

• Feeding America: National umbrella network for food banks; The Foodbank Dayton is a Feeding America member, putting Bogg in the same ecosystem. Comparable on mission (food insecurity) and food sourcing, though operating as a national federation rather than a single local ministry.

Emerging players

• Food Rescue US: National nonprofit focused on recovering surplus food and redirecting it to communities in need. Comparable mission and volunteer-driven model, but differentiates on food recovery logistics rather than pantry-style distribution.

Regional players

• Mid-Ohio Food Collective: Regional food bank serving central Ohio with comparable food distribution and partner-pantry model. Closely comparable operating model and revenue mix (in-kind dominant), but operates in a different geography.
