Community Assistance Programs

Emergency Food Assistance-Senior/Disabled Assistance
Our Emergency Food Assistance Program includes a pantry stocked with assorted meats, canned goods, basic staples and household items such as: paper items, detergent, diapers etc. The purpose of the emergency food assistance program is not to restrict our clients from overuse but to sufficiently assist them and encourage them through their difficulty. The emergency food assistance program is zip code restricted and requires a needs assessment so that we can properly service the individual or family. We also include our seniors and disabled individuals that have little to no income. This program allows our seniors and those who are disabled to receive food and household/personal effects that they would normally have to go without because of the high costs of medicines and fixed incomes. Our goal is to help alleviate hunger by providing the necessary food to the people who come through our doors for assistance.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Provide meaningful improvement in the quality of life and economic opportunity for low-income individuals and families.
Give those in need a chance for a better life or a second chance for a better quality of life.
Break the cycle of hunger, homelessness and poverty by providing critically needed assistance to both individuals and families.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Creating and implementing community specific programs that will enrich not only individuals but families as well. These programs will consist of several facets designed to help move each family from their current impoverished situation into a more sustainable quality of life. Developing micro-economic centers that are indigenous to the land and community will be the primary focus in the Caring For Others facilities in countries abroad.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have already established two other NGOs in Antigua and Nigeria and are currently working on a third in Guyana South America. With these NGOs we will be able to adequately produce land indigenous programs for the overall betterment of some of the most impoverished areas.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Currently we have been able to garner the two international NGOs and are currently working on a third and a fourth. We have not yet implemented the micro-economic centers yet but they are in process.
How we listen
Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.
-
How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?
To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals
-
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?
We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We act on the feedback we receive
-
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?
We don't have any major challenges to collecting feedback

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

President/Founder/CEO
Mrs. Eslene Richmond-Shockley
Eslene Richmond-Shockley is truly an example of faith, perseverance, obedience and strength. A native of Guyana, South America, she grew up with her grandmother in the Nabaclis Village on the East Coast. While she recalls growing up poor, memories of her childhood are rich with endless words of encouragement she received from her grandmother. In January 1994, Eslene was diagnosed with a brain tumor and her world began to tumble. Six months after her diagnosis she was laid off by the company that she had dedicated so much of her life to. Nevertheless, the words of Eslene’s grandmother were brought to mind and, she knew she needed to pick up and move forward. In partnership with Dodd-Sterling United Methodist Church she organized the first Community Holiday Giving event helping more than 300 families. It was this event, confirmed by a dream in which God told her to “feed my sheep,” that gave birth to Caring For Others, Inc. in September 2001.
