Describe an investment in leadership

We recently invested in attending grant class, we have mentors, start our meeting to restructure our organizations and incorporate management systems to handle our database of contacts and communications.

This organization mobilizes for mission in the following ways:

• Strategic Partnerships

• Networks of Collective Impact Efforts

• Raising Awareness

• Community Building

What are this organization’s external mobilizaton efforts?

We are huge in recognizing the value of collective efforts and making an intent to be sustainable. Within our first year alone, we managed to grow our partnerships within the community by being a school partners, connecting with Council member offices, seeking help with fellow nonprofits and other businesses. It's through this relationship building that had allow us to exponentially grow our services specially in our hunger initiatives. This also provided our organization a way to directly connect to impoverished families and children which in turn gave us a better picture which programs to launch and focus.

Since last year, we grew in the total number of title I schools that we currently sponsored. From one to now six schools! Our services also grew under our hunger initiative due to epidemic on food insecurity brought by COVID. We started with serving 100 families once a month to 300+ families each month. We made big leap in leveraging our food recovery mission to supplement our growing community pantry operations. We also successfully move to a new food pantry location, with new partnership from a congregation who believe in our programs. Since our operations are non-stop, it allows us to gain more followers and volunteer staff- from 5 to 90+ hard working volunteers, 40% are youth volunteers! We also made progress in our technology stack by incorporating more tools to make our operations efficient and data driven. Last but not the least, we managed to create additional leadership structure and roles delegation to be able to handle the growing demands of our programs.
