A little over a year ago, we introduced the Agency Benefit Program (ABP), our partner agency capacity building initiative, to a pilot group of 80 partner agencies. In that time, some exciting things happened:
-$67,000 in new capacity building equipment was awarded, allowing agencies to increase their nutritious perishable distribution
from 17% – 500%
-3 FREE Rollins College Workshops on Fundraising and Volunteer Management were hosted at Second Harvest
-$1,500 in warehouse credits were added to agency accounts for workshop participation
–The marvelous Chef Terah joined our team as a Nutrition Educator to help promote nutrition and healthy cooking to you and your clients through demos, food samplings and personalized coaching
–We launched our new partner website!
We are now rolling out the program network-wide. All partner agencies have since been classified into 3 groups to help identify your individual capacity levels. For more background and information about the classification process, click here.
Through ABP, we’ll work closely with agencies that want to expand their services, with an emphasis on increasing the amount of nutritious food distributed and network collaboration. Second Harvest is committed to providing more capacity building benefits to you – our partner network.
ABP benefits will be communicated as they are available, so be sure to pay attention to future “ABP” emails and posts on this site!
