It seems like almost overnight, our warehouse grew into a maze of products for a steadily increasing number of families in need.
These products are all items we use in modern society to raise a healthy family, and experience a quality life. Jake’s is doing more than giving out products - but rather, propelling individuals to experience the type of life we all take for granted.
What started as a small goal to help just 15 babies at an orphanage has grown to something bigger than I could ever have dreamed. I've learned so much about basic needs that exist in our own backyards, and am motivated to change that.
COVID-19 has accelerated our growth, with an unprecedented increase in basic needs support from community members. We made the shift from Jake's Diapers to Jake's Network of Hope to align with a change that was already in the making but accelerated during the pandemic.
Here's our impact, January through October 2020:
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can recieve an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
