Hello All --
Thank you so much to all of you who attended our event, gave generously, and helped spread the word to others! This picture came from rad Ambassadors Mica, Gabe, and Elizabeth who enjoyed their Yum Boxes and the virtual event together (so cool!!). There's a photo review of the event below, and here's a quick summary:
- We had a tiny, live, vaccinated audience!! It was very fun :)
- 104 households logged into Zoom; 15 more households viewed via Facebook
- Most youth in our programs got to watch and participate this year!
- 125 Yum Boxes were enjoyed folks during the event (yay Forks & Corks!)
- 57 individuals donated during the event
- 5 new monthly donations were started, and one person increased their gift
- Sponsorships and day-of donations total just over $38,000 -- YAHOO!!
We'll use pieces of the event videos throughout the month of May as part of our annual spring campaign. Or, you can watch the full event here! The live portion starts at about minute 17.
Always Grateful, Hannah & the Jackson Street Team

Event Recap: CONGRATS and THANKS! |
|
Congratulations, Mentors, this year's recipients of the Our Caring Community Award. |
|
|
|
Did you catch the Sneak Peek?! |
We're so excited to have youth leading fundraising efforts to complete the Albany House renovation project! Lots more info to come :) |
|
THE BARRIER: We've always tried to do something small (like a cake) for those who have birthdays while in shelter or Next Steps program, but with limited staff capacity and budget.
THE OPPORTUNITY: We were recently approached by the young women who began Light The Way Birthdays about a partnership to ensure youth in our care are celebrated on their birthdays. Having Light The Way Birthdays organize and deliver gifts would be adding something not currently within our
THE QUESTION: However, Light the Way Birthdays is a very new nonprofit with limited funds. So we're turning to you.... Given the opportunity, would you donate to Light The Way Birthdays to sponsor a youth's birthday celebration? Please tell us in the poll!
|
|
TAKE THIS QUICK POLL!
We want to know what you think about this potential partnership.
|
|
|
Are you interested in sponsoring a youth for their birthday through Light The Way Birthdays?
|
|
Yes, if it was definitely for a Jackson Street client.
|
|
|
|
|
I wouldn't give but it's a good idea and I would tell others about it.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think this partnership should be pursued.
|

Please share additional thoughts or opinions with Hannah (contact info below). |

|
1) Albany Farmers Market Produce Deliveries |
OPPORTUNITY: Pick up produce from the Albany Farmers Market (on Saturdays) and deliver the yummy veggies to our Albany House & Albany Next Steps site for youth to enjoy.
|
|
|
|
|
2) In-Person Academic Coaches |
OPPORTUNITY: With school resuming we have an increase in requests for in-person Academic Coaching, especially those able to meet youth in Albany, Lebanon, and Sweet Home on Wednesdays after 3pm.
