Organizations Filed Purposes: SupplyBank.org is a collaborative and innovative non-profit agency that provides essential goods and services to children and families in vulnerable communities throughout California.

SupplyBank.Org will replicate the Food Bank model and apply it to the delivery of basic tangible needs for low-income children and families at no cost. We seek to build the nations first Supply Bank to transform the way people with low income receive what they need to thrive.

BackgroundSupplyBank.Org centralizes procurement and in-kind donations to provide upwards of $3 worth of necessities for every $1 invested. In the past few years, the Organization provided more than $27 million worth of materials including diapers, hygiene supplies, school supplies and refurbished laptops to hundreds of thousands of low-income children and families throughout California. Our largest programmatic footprint is in the Bay Area.By distributing materials through a statewide network of partnering agencies that provide additional resources supporting pathways out of poverty, we aim to both alleviate the immediate symptoms of poverty, while incentivizing families to participate in programs that provide pathways towards self-sufficiency. Leveraging existing investments into the safety net enables SupplyBank.Org to distribute critical materials through an existing and trusted infrastructure with a leg up approach (no line), while minimizing our operational costs.COVID ResponseSince the onset of the Pandemic, SupplyBank.Org utilized its relationships with the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES), County EOCs, FEMA, First 5 California and several other state and local agencies to establish and administer 58 county emergency supplies programs totaling several million dollars each quarter. While they vary in distribution points, all partner with each respective County Children and Families Commission (First 5), childcare providers for essential personnel, and other programs through public health/social services departments. Thousands of organizations throughout the state are beneficiaries and several Bay Area Counties made supplemental appropriations towards the effort. More than 95% of funding is for the cost of goods, warehousing and transportation.Items include PPE, cleaning/disinfectant supplies, branded infrared thermometers, diapers (adult/baby)/wipes, feminine hygiene, several types of adult/child masks and other items.Oakport Street Project - Oakport.org As an expanding Oakland community based organization, the Oakport Street Project will enable our agency to more than triple in size the first year and set in place the framework for rapid growth thereafter. This project will enable us to provide several tens of millions of dollars worth of basic needs materials (PPE/disaster response, diapers, laptops, hygiene items, school supplies, household essentials, etc.) to impoverished children and families and victims of disasters such as the recent firestorms that displaced tens of thousands of people. Its a proven model and were all excited and honored to be working on it. As part of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), the project would develop the approximately 16-acre EBMUD pipe storage yard on Oakport Street into a new 130,000 sq. ft. warehouse building (split into two units) and a 160,000 sq. ft. five-story office building with associated parking and landscaping improvements. There will also be several other improvements to the northern side of the development specifically for EBMUD use which are described below. Per the project plans, the site is broken into two areas, there are two sides of this development (north and south). The southern end is what consists of the office building and the SupplyBank.Org half of distribution center. The northern end includes improvements were doing as part of a transactions where we are exchanging land improvements to our local water utility in exchange for the land. As a transit oriented development, the 160,000 square foot office building will be a new Class A structure with below market/reduced rents initially exclusively offered to nonprofit organizations located in the Bay Area. It will provide a free BART shuttle (light-rail transit; 5 minute ride to the Coliseum Station), shared conference rooms, outdoor gathering spaces and other shared common spaces that include a rooftop garden and other amenities. We are also exploring a 1.25 acres rooftop farm on the warehouse. Leases will be structured up to 50+ years for qualified nonprofits and other organizations. Our goal is to create a unique community of the most passionate, equitable and socially minded organizations and people in the region all serving the same community in different ways. In short, we hope to build a campus of like-minded organizations with the ability to create social change. The cost to administer the Oakport Street Project as the project developer is reflected in the Statement of Financial Expenses under the Program Services Column section under the column entitled, Oakport Street Project. The total cost of $89,488 is reflective of all stated expenses. In future years the Organization will move the assets and costs of the Project to SBO Development Company LLC.
