Happy Giving Tuesday! According to the website, Giving Tuesday is a “global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.” And it’s the perfect day to announce the 2024 NCP Cares recipients!
NCP Cares is our company’s initiative to engage with our community, both locally and on a national level, through charitable donations and volunteer opportunities. Every year, NCP donates $5,000 each to two organizations nominated by and voted on by panel members!
This year, we focused on organizations that provide food to members of their communities. Panel members nominated hundreds of organizations in their areas, and NCP staff narrowed the list to five semi-finalists. Then, we sent a survey to all panel members asking them to vote for two organizations to receive the one-time donation.
And now… drumroll, please… we’re ready to announce the two organizations who each received a $5,000 donation!
You Eat I Eat Community Unity Food Pantry
You Eat I Eat Community Unity Food Pantry strives to provide food and support to the poor, indigent veterans, and low-income individuals and families of El Paso, Texas, in a judgement-free environment. The non-profit organization believes that all people deserve access to healthy and delicious food as well as the essential things that will help enhance their quality of life.
“The funds received immediately impacted the community with the purchase of $1,000 worth of turkeys that doubled our original order for that evening,” said Dorene M. Corothers, founder and director. “In total, 800 clients received a meal and 250 clients received a turkey with the trimmings.”
Heartland Hope Mission
Heartland Hope Mission is more than a pantry – it is the safety net between our neighbors in need and homelessness. Working families struggling to make ends meet receive a week’s supply of groceries, diapers, clothing, and hygiene items. The organization also offers additional services to help families get back on their feet in a hope-filled environment.
“Your support provides fresh produce, meat, milk, and hygiene items,” says Pastor Chelsea Salifou, CEO of Heartland Hope Mission. “Additionally, your contribution allows families in need to have access to clothing, household items, and to meet with a Client Service Specialist to receive navigational services, SNAP application assistance, and connects them to our Job Paths program.”
“At NCP, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us,” says John Toomey, National Consumer Panel’s chief operating officer. “This year’s NCP Cares initiative focused on food pantries because we recognize that so many families are struggling to put food on their tables. We’re proud to support these two incredible organizations with $5,000 donations each, knowing their efforts will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.”
Last year, NCP Cares assisted two organizations that provide services for senior citizens. Previous initiatives have supported elementary schools, animal welfare organizations, and veterans’ organizations.
Thank you to all our panel members who nominated and voted for organizations this year! We are thankful for your panel participation and appreciate everything you do.
Regards,
Taylor
