Organizations Filed Purposes:
Organizations primary exempt purpose is to provide food, clothing, education, assistance, and housing allowance to poor and needy families.
Monthly Food Distribution Each month we did a food distribution event on a weekend. We received 8-10 tons of food per month as a donation from Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, plus we purchased various food items ourselves each month. Our volunteers prepared food packages 70lbs for each client per month. The food consists of fresh produce, dry goods, meat, flour, rice, oil, eggs, etc. We were able to increase the total amount of food for 2019 from 150 tons in 2018 to 188 tons in 2019, a 25.3 increase. The average no. of families served also went up in 2019 from 400 in 2018 to 437 in 2019, a 9.25 increase.
Financial Assistance We provide financial assistance monthly to selected clients with the most need to pay their rent, utilities, or transportation, etc. This assistance is provided in-kind, i.e. checks are written directly to their landlords for rent, and utility companies for their electric/gas. This assures the assistance goes to its intended purpose, and the families avoid becoming homeless. We provided over 50,000 per month of financial assistance to over 150 families.
Sacramento Refugee Program There are tens of thousands of refugee families living in the Sacramento Area. Many of them needed financial help to purchase necessities that their food stamps did not cover. We decided to provide Walmart Gift Cards worth 200 per family to 1200 deserving families over a 6-month period. We were able to initiate this Program in February 2019, and did the last distribution in September by giving 232,000 worth of Gift Cards, thus providing each family enough money to purchase those important and necessary items they needed, which could not be purchased with food stamps.
