Pandemic Response
Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Xavier Mission Inc. reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Program Delivery
Fundraising Capacity
Revenue
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
In the first year of the pandemic we received the SBA Paycheck Protection Loan and COVID-relief funding. This allowed us to make it through FY20 without laying off any staff and we were able to modify and continue running most of our programs. In FY21, most of that additional funding disappeared and we struggled to maintain our pre-COVID revenue levels. In FY20, while our annual event had to be cancelled, we had already sold tickets and sponsorships and our donors told us to keep the money. In FY21, we were unable to have any type of event creating a shortfall of $75,000. Our annual holiday campaign raised less than the previous year because so many people were in uncertain financial situations. We managed to finish FY21 in the black because the SBA forgave our PPP loan, so we didn't have that liability anymore. This fiscal year we seem to be rebounding - our holiday campaign raised an all-time high - but we have yet to see how the rest of the year will play out in terms of funding.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
In March 2020, we shut down two programs, the shelter and clothing room. The rest of our programs remained operational in modified form. Our soup kitchen began serving takeout meals, our customer-choice food pantry began delivering groceries and distributing pre-packaged bags, and our LSEP program focused on alumni who were struggling with the pandemic via zoom and teleconferencing groups rather than taking on new participants. Our financial assistance program ran out of funding and had to be frozen mid-year due to the high number of people needing rent assistance. Our clothing room reopened and our food pantry went back to normal operations in April 2021. Our soup kitchen is still offering takeout meals with plans to re-open for sit-down service in the spring. Our LSEP program continues to serve alumni but will be starting a hybrid semester for new participants in the spring. Our financial assistance program is accepting applications. Our shelter will not reopen.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
Xavier Mission quickly pivoted operations thanks to the dedication of our staff and volunteers who were willing to continue serving our community even during the worst of the pandemic. We were fortunate to have a new group of younger volunteers step up, who were able to fill in for our older, at-risk volunteers. We partnered with new organizations to provide services, such as the Sirens Women's Motorcycle Club of NY, who helped us to delivery groceries to our food pantry families so they didn't have to leave their homes to pick up food. We identified the safest ways possible to continue providing the services that people depend on us for, even if the method was different. We made it easy for staff to work from home wherever possible by purchasing any items they needed to create home offices. Some full-time team members took on the duties of part-time staff who were at higher risk of COVID, in order to maintain program operations while keeping our high-risk team members safe.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
When our clothing room re-opened, we began seeing women as well as men coming for assistance, which was a change from pre-pandemic times. We quickly expanded our operations to include women and children's clothing, and we plan to continue that as long as women continue to visit our program. We will also continue to provide programming for LSEP alumni even after we begin running our program for new participants again, as we have found that the support we provided to our alumni during the pandemic will continue to be necessary even after the pandemic has subsided.

Mobilizing for Mission
The nonprofit provides evidence of leadership through focusing externally and mobilizing resources for the mission.
This organization mobilizes for mission in the following ways:
Strategic Partnerships
Raising Awareness
What are this organization’s external mobilizaton efforts?
Our Life-Skills Empowerment Programs are designed to be replicated, and we have worked with Riverside Church and currently partner with Metro Baptist Church to develop and run successful LSEP programs. Prior to the pandemic, we were an active (and founding) member of the Chelsea-Westside Neighborhood Network, which brought together organizations int he Chelsea/Westside neighborhoods to discuss common issues, share resources, identify gap areas, and provide moral support for one another. We hope to resurrect the network soon, now that COVID is finally in retreat. Last year we hired a part-time administrative assistant who also focuses on social media, raising our social media presence from practically nonexistent to thriving. This has resulted in greater engagement, including attracting new donors and volunteers.

Story of Adaptability
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
In mid-March of 2020, when it became clear that COVID was going to hit New York, a team of staff and volunteers sat down to make a plan for how to continue serving our constituencies while maintaining safety and security in the face of this unknown illness. We pivoted immediately, without a break in service, at four of our 6 programs. Our shelter was shut down by order of the city, and our Clothing Room closed because we were unsure at that time whether COVID could be spread on clothes. We continued to provide a meal every Sunday, food to our pantry families, financial assistance, and support and resources to our LSEP alumni community. In the last two years, we have continued that ability to pivot to meet each new challenge that has come along. In that time we have reopened our Clothing Room and food pantry at full capacity. We are in the process of re-opening our soup kitchen to become a sit-down meal again, and our LSEP program will start with a new cohort for in-person sessions in the fall. We never laid off staff, we never closed our doors, and we never had to cut back on the amount of food that we provided to guests. We did this while maintaining safety and security for our guests and volunteers. We never had a mass outbreak of COVID at our site, among staff or volunteers. Our ability to adapt and be flexible has proven to be one of our greatest strengths.
