Adaptability Story - 30/30 ptsAdaptability Story - 30/30 pts
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
JCOC operates the only year-round singles shelter for adults in the City of Virginia Beach at the city's Housing Resource Center. During FY21-22, we helped 95 homeless individuals exit our housing programs to secure permanent housing. JCOC's Food programs provided more than 79,088 meals worth of food to anyone suffering from homelessness or struggling with food insecurity. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, JCOC’s staff did not stop from providing Emergency Shelter services around the clock. Adhering to CDC guidelines and working with government officials, disaster plans were quickly put into place as more than 20 clients falling into the most vulnerable category were safely moved into an extended stay hotel on March 20, 2020. The remaining clients were able to safely have the needed amount of space during the crisis. After more than a year, Emergency Housing clients are now all housed in our 55-bed shelter. None remain in hotels. The Food Pantry and Family Food Box programs were closed in mid-March 2020 due to fluid CDC gathering guidelines and food resources not being available. Instead during this time, we emptied our shelves, sharing thousands of pounds of nonperishable and perishable food with local drive-thru pantries. The Food Pantry reopened August 25, 2020 for one day a week and then added a second day per week on January 2, 2021 with the help of the Foodbank food truck deliveries. The Family Food Box program reopened February 11, 2021. JCOC's guests continue to make appointments to come to both programs, and receive pre-bagged groceries. Our Community Dinner program quickly transitioned from serving meals in the dining hall to giving to-go meals every day throughout the pandemic. In July 2021, the dining hall reopened welcoming guests to eat inside or take a to-go meal.
