About
Diaper Kit ProgramDuring this fiscal year, we continued to focus heavily on building out a robust statewide Diaper kit program in partnership with First 5 California, all 58 counties, WIC, and others. Providing up to 100 diapers and 200 wipes per month through partnering WIC offices and First 5 family resource centers (FRCs), the diaper kit program is a solution to the growing issue of diaper need, or an insufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby clean and dry. With each box, diaper, and baby wipe container printed with colorful messaging from first 5s award-winning talk. Read. Sing. Campaign, the diaper kits serve a dual purpose of reinforcing healthy language development practices for parents and caregivers of babies and toddlers. SupplyBank.org and our agency partners distribute these to low-income families for substantially less cost when compared to in-store costs. The program made donations to organizations in 23 counties and the built the infrastructure to reach all 58. The program distributed more than 3 million diapers and 6 million wipes. Disaster Relief SupplyBank.Org continued planning for long-term disaster relief efforts, as the deadly wildfires that ripped through Northern California and uprooted thousands of families for two consecutive years have generated a substantial need for basic supplies. The strain of families to meet their basic material needs extends well beyond the news cycles that follow these events, and relief agencies struggle to address ongoing needs in the face of boom and bust donations. Additionally, according to county, state and federal officials, what is often donated by the public is not what is needed with respect to basic material needs. To address these issues more efficiently, SupplyBank.Org entered into a preliminary partnership agreement with the American Red Cross to work collectively to store and distribute goods needed to support the efforts of the Red Cross and other allied agencies during localized or regional disasters. The Organization has also engaged with FEMA, Cal-OES, several county level EOCs, and other stakeholders to gain more knowledge. With the ability to procure materials in bulk and store them until they are needed, we anticipate significantly lower costs and greater longevity of resources. In response to the immediate needs SupplyBank.Org continued to make one-time donations to those impacted by natural disasters through our existing network of 450 partnering agencies.Supplies to Nonprofits The Supplies to Nonprofits program provides a wide range of critical materials to partnering agencies such as shelters, family resource centers, social service agencies, churches and other community groups throughout the region and state. Largely in-kind donors that coordinate unopened returns, surplus and general donations from wholesale networks that supply major retailers supply this program. They are committed to partnering with SupplyBank.Org as the California hub for return and surplus household items to be distributed to low-income families in need. Once the Distribution Center is up and running, we expect to distribute between $20-25 million worth of materials to partnering agencies throughout the state, but during this year we ran several pilot and ongoing distributions. This year the program focused on providing for the unmet materials needs of the migrant farm worker communities throughout California.K to College Now in its 10th year, our K to College program continues to provide school supplies, dental supplies, backpacks, early learning kits, and other basic needs items to homeless, foster, and other low-income students throughout the state to help them succeed in school. Partnered with more than 350 county offices of education, school districts and First 5 Agencies, the program is the farthest-reaching effort of its kind. In the past year, we have distributed 49,839 backpacks with supplies, 44,270 school supply kits, 3,900 Early Learning Kits and 25,462 dental hygiene kits, among other materials, preschoolers through 12th grade students across the state. The program also provides a joint procurement opportunity for other nonprofits.Oakport Street Project As an expanding Oakland company, the Oakport Street Project will enable our agency to more than triple in size the first year and set in place the framework for rapid growth thereafter. This project will enable us to provide several tens of millions of dollars worth of basic needs materials (diapers, laptops, hygiene items, school supplies, emergency supplies etc.) to impoverished children and families and victims of disasters such as the recent firestorms that displaced tens of thousands of people. Its a proven model and were all excited and honored to be working on it. As part of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), the project would develop the approximately 16-acre EBMUD pipe storage yard on Oakport Street into a new 130,000 sq. ft. warehouse building (split into two units) and a 160,000 sq. ft. five-story office building with associated parking and landscaping improvements. There will also be several other improvements to the northern side of the development specifically for EBMUD use which are described below. Per the project plans, the site is broken into two areas, there are two sides of this development (north and south). The southern end is what consists of the office building and the SupplyBank.Org half of distribution center. The northern end includes improvements were doing as part of a transactions where we are exchanging land improvements to our local water utility in exchange for the land. This agreement was approved in the summer of 2018. The 160,000 square foot office building will be a new Class A structure with below market rents initially exclusively offered to nonprofit organizations located in the Bay Area. It will provide a free BART shuttle (light-rail transit; 5 minute ride to the Coliseum Station), shared conference rooms, outdoor gathering spaces and other shared common spaces that include a rooftop garden and other amenities. Leases will be structured up to 50+ years for qualified nonprofits and other organizations. Our goal is to create a unique community of the most passionate, equitable and socially minded organizations and people in the region all serving the same community in different ways. In short, we hope to build a campus of like-minded organizations with the ability to create social change.
