#GivingTuesday is happening on December 1st this year. These next few weeks, we're calling on our community, our partners, and our supporters to donate to Mandela Partners.
We're proud of our many accomplishments this year. In 2020, we:
-
Distribute over 1,500 healthy, hot meals per week to churches, shelters and encampments, youth and family resources centers, community clinics, and other local mutual aid initiatives.
-
Distributed free fresh produce boxes to over 1000 households per week at over a dozen sites to help ensure families have access to healthy food during the pandemic.
-
Sourced over 200,000 lbs of produce from 25 limited-resource farmers of color across the region, whose economic livelihoods have also been greatly impacted by the pandemic.
-
Created $215K in sales opportunities and provided complimentary grants to local BIPOC food owned and operated businesses working to stay open in challenging times.
-
Directly supported 32 local entrepreneurs of color through one-on-one advising and workshops.
