Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Just One Project’s goal is to address the root causes of hunger and poverty by creating relevant, comprehensive, qualitative, efficient, and innovative solutions. Our programs aim to remove barriers, create access to fresh groceries, and end poverty through housing, self-development, and wraparound services.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Just One Project has experienced incredible growth as we serve approximately 20,000-30,000 people each month and we accomplish this by prioritizing client experience, abiding by gold standards, creating a safe and inclusive space for our neighbors in need, utilizing the manpower of hundreds of selfless volunteers each month, hiring a top-notch team of compassionate subject matter experts, and with the leadership of our Board of Directors.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The Just One Project has been filling crucial gaps and providing grocery assistance to food-insecure households since 2016, and we have grown to reach 20,000-30,000 people each month. The Pop Up & Give Mobile Market is one of our first programs offered to the community. This started by accepting a donation of fresh fruits from Delmonte Foods in 2016. A trucking company volunteered to transport the food from California to Las Vegas and a handful of volunteers loaded up the trunks of their cars to distribute this food to the community. This opened the doors for our unique mobile grocery distribution model. In 2017, we became an Agency Partner of Three Square and partnered with the Clark County School District to host a Pop Up & Give at one of their schools, expanding to five Pop Up & Gives in 2018. In 2019, we opened our first brick-and-mortar location and served our first client from the Community Market, and we began to provide home-delivered groceries for homebound seniors. In 2020 our impact nearly tripled as we expanded our reach and services to people most impacted by COVID-19, that year we served over 386,000 people. Fast forward to 2022, for the second year in a row, we are Three Square's largest agency partner; we distribute over 600,000 pounds of groceries each month; we host monthly Pop Up & Gives at 14 locations; host monthly senior-specific Pop Up & Gives at 30 senior housing communities; deliver groceries to homebound clients each month, No-Cost Community Market shoppers participate in wraparound services, we provide Rapid Rehousing and Case Management to households experiencing homelessness, fill gaps in services for disconnected youth through our Leadership Academy and Camp Just One, and each month we mobilize over 750+ volunteers.
