SAFH provides a reliable source of food for those who are hungry, in the lower east side of Manhattan. In 2020 the need they filled skyrocketed, and we were able to provide some pro-bono work to raise funds to help them continue their work in the midst of COVID. In 2020 they distributed 200,000 meals.
Quite simply, we couldn't have done it this year (2020) without Vandersall Collective. Not only did they give us the moral support we needed to feel brave enough to ask donors for funding, but we also received the tools to be able to continue to raise funds in a sustainable way. It was such a natural working relationship. Both myself and the board actually enjoyed the process of fundraising (can you believe that??) and felt thoroughly supported throughout. Our programming actually expanded in a year we should've shrunk.
I think most surprising was how Vandersall Collective made us really consider our strengths, who we were as an organization, and what was possible for us. Once we did that, things began to open up for us.
