Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
TOTAL Ministries is trying to prevent homelessness and fight hunger. TOTAL has a financial assistance program as well as 2 food assistance programs. We've also added a case management program to put people on the path to self sufficiency.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
TOTAL Ministries has staff and volunteers who sit with the client during the interview process. Our families are in a safe and trusting environment when they are being interviewed. Our screening includes, but is not limited to budgeting, life skills, educational and employment resources.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
TOTAL has volunteers who are lending their warmth and skills to each of the clients who walk through our door. They will send clients to our case manager if they need extra help in certain areas. The case manager works with each person until both parties feel confident about their success.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Each year, TOTAL Ministries helps approximately 10,000 people with food assistance and 3,000 people with financial assistance. TOTAL serves as a resource agency as well. There are approximately 40,000 who are food insecure in Spartanburg County, so we hope to bring raise awareness.
