[12:23]
Bring us to our presentation for this afternoon.
[12:26]
Say, presentation by the just serve organization.
[12:31]
We have Ms. San Gray with us today,
[12:34]
as well as Ms. Christian Lowe, who will be presenting.
[12:37]
Thank
[12:46]
you for allowing us to be here. I'm Sam Gray and this is Kristen Lo and we are here
[12:55]
as representatives from just serve. Can everyone hear us okay? Or me? I'm the only person talking.
[13:02]
But appreciate the opportunity to be here and to share with you something that's very
[13:09]
to monitor our hearts and that is service in our communities.
[13:14]
And just serve is a wonderful platform that allows organizations,
[13:20]
individuals, and families and opportunity to get involved in their communities,
[13:25]
and to safeguard and protect their communities by volunteering in different capacities.
[13:33]
The City of South Fulton is being awarded a just serve city,
[13:37]
which is a wonderful distinction amongst all the other cities.
[13:43]
So we have an award back here that we can give someone that we hope that this council will consider a great distinction.
[13:54]
It means that the city of South Fulton has a great endeavor to be involved in their community and to actually serve.
[14:02]
So we wanted to tell you just a little bit about just serve, how it impacts your city and how it can actually help you with the community with it.
[14:13]
So there is just a quick video we're going to watch and I think it's only about 40 seconds long.
[14:35]
Opportunities for service are everywhere. You just need to know where to look. We now have a free community resource.
[14:43]
It's called JustServe.
[14:45]
This is how JustServe works.
[14:48]
Faith, nonprofit, and community organizations
[14:51]
submit their needs on JustServe.org,
[14:54]
including how long the service will take,
[14:56]
when and where it will happen,
[14:58]
what skills are needed,
[14:59]
and what A-
[15:00]
Page is it may be appropriate for. Then you match your situation to their needs. Do you want
[15:06]
to serve in the community, but you only have an hour and a half on Thursday? Go to justserve.org
[15:12]
and the site will show you projects that match your availability. Want to find ways for your
[15:17]
family to serve together? Looking for a simple way to recommend service projects, reach out
[15:22]
to volunteers or build friendships and unity in the community, go to JustServe.org.
[15:29]
Getting involved helps people in need and provides opportunities for you to serve side-by-side
[15:34]
with others in the community.
[15:37]
So let's start with our communities and just serve.
[15:47]
Thank you for allowing us to share that with you and just so this council is aware in those
[15:52]
that are present just serve is an app and also an online platform that allows individuals
[16:01]
to sit in their own homes or on their jobs and find service opportunities by zip code.
[16:10]
So if you are a family, you can sit in your own home, put your zip code in and find things
[16:16]
to do as a family to serve in your community.
[16:18]
whether it's to clean up or whether it's to help out a food pantry that falls
[16:24]
within your your boundaries. It's actually a really beautiful thing. I know
[16:30]
that I live in Mabelton and this is a volunteer opportunity that we do. It is a
[16:38]
free platform and I know that I live in Mabelton with my family even though the
[16:43]
platform was created by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is
[16:49]
actually overseeing on the Advisory Council by so many different organizations.
[16:55]
And I believe that you guys should have the paper that shows you who actually
[16:59]
sits on the Advisory Council. It's amazing because you have some of the biggest
[17:04]
volunteer organizations in the world. You have Catholic Charities.
[17:11]
You have the
[17:13]
as many people as possible to post their volunteer opportunities.
[17:19]
And the church oversees the maintenance of the website only.
[17:26]
And for those of you who are not familiar with the church,
[17:29]
we have one that is right here in your boundaries.
[17:32]
And this is Cassie Van Dyke.
[17:35]
Her husband is actually the bishop of one
[17:37]
of our churches that's right on Lee Street.
[17:40]
so we wholeheartedly want every family to serve and to get involved in their
[17:47]
communities.
[17:55]
Thank you all for having us. One way that my family has taken
[17:59]
advantage of the just serve platform is connecting our youth groups to
[18:05]
opportunities. So we've made sandwiches for the unhoused. We've put together kits
[18:12]
It's for menstruation for women's shelters and it's just a great tool especially to mobilize
[18:20]
people quickly as well.
[18:23]
So kind of these standing projects, you know, will be ongoing, the sandwiches and the putting
[18:28]
together resources for different shelters, but it's also a great platform to mobilize people
[18:36]
So quickly, whether it's for emergency or disaster responses, it is free, and so makes it
[18:49]
an easy entry for any other organizations to put their volunteer opportunities on there.
[18:59]
And with Southhoulton becoming a just serve county and city, you also receive support
[19:08]
that you might need with the platform to kind of understand how it operates and works.
[19:15]
And then just some of the initiatives that we've been able to kind of work towards recently
[19:23]
there to celebrate an honor America's 250th anniversary we've had food truck
[19:29]
deliveries massive semi-trucks with 40,000 pounds of shell-stable food have
[19:37]
been distributed to 250 food banks in the area and across all 50 states as
[19:45]
well. Another nice thing about this is that volunteers can log their
[19:50]
service hours. So I know I have a couple high school students who are trying to get service
[19:56]
hours. So that is a newer feature that people are able to log so they don't have to, you
[20:02]
know, keep Italian a notebook somewhere but it logs it in their account so that they
[20:07]
can see over the long term what their impact has been.
[20:11]
So,
[20:16]
one of the things we wanted to make clear is that this is the 15th year of Jess Serve,
[20:24]
and Kristen mentioned that this is 250 years of our country, and one of the most beautiful
[20:30]
things that Kristen and I, and Cassie got to participate in, was most of you are probably
[20:35]
familiar with Dr. Carter from Morehouse, who just went out to use the chaplain.
[20:41]
and we were able to donate a food truck in his honor.
[20:48]
A complete truck with 25,000 pounds of non-perishable items
[20:53]
that were distributed from over 35 different organizations
[20:58]
that were able to fill up their pantries.
[21:01]
And so these are the types of things that can happen.
[21:05]
I see the city of South Fulton posting service opportunities
[21:09]
a cleanup day. Wherever you are, you can sign up wherever your family is and go
[21:18]
clean up your community. I see libraries needing help and asking for volunteers
[21:23]
to come and fill their shelves or to help organize. I see food pantries within
[21:29]
your boundaries posting and looking for help. I see youth groups by
[21:34]
Christen mentioned different churches being able to sign up and to go and to help in their food
[21:40]
pantries. This is an opportunity for us to come outside of ourselves and to help serve other
[21:47]
people. I know that my life has been blessed by being able to do service opportunities because we
[21:54]
know that life is hard and you can get so bogged down by what's happening in your own life.
[22:00]
but as we promote volunteerism in our area,
[22:04]
it will get us outside of what's happening
[22:07]
like right in ourselves and get us out serving
[22:12]
with our families.
[22:14]
And just so you are aware, since this inception,
[22:18]
more than 800,000 volunteers have registered
[22:21]
and participated in more than 150,000 projects.
[22:26]
And the app and the website are free spaces for the community to post their needs.
[22:33]
It is a wonderful opportunity for the city of South Fulton to become a leader in the state.
[22:40]
You already are with volunteering.
[22:43]
We just hope that you will use the site to garner more opportunities and foster volunteerism
[22:51]
in your boundaries.
[22:53]
but I want to do to meet Cassie because she's pretty amazing and she thanks. I
[22:59]
appreciate that. I will take that on behalf of my husband so my name is Cassie.
[23:03]
Thank you. My name is Cassie, Marino Van Dyke and my husband, Sebastian Van Dyke,
[23:08]
he is actually the bishop of our congregation. So just for a little bit of
[23:12]
background, we have a lay ministry as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of
[23:16]
Latter-day Saints, everyone that serves in our churches of volunteer. So my
[23:19]
My husband also has a full-time job, which is why he could not be here today.
[23:23]
My full-time job happens to be for the church, so I am a church volunteer, and I'm also a church employee, so I'm able to be here on his behalf.
[23:30]
Our congregations are divided up geographically, so the congregation that my husband oversees encompasses the city of South Fulton goes as far as South as Fairburn, and about as far north as I-20, and encompasses all members of our church friends and neighbors in that community.
[23:47]
So, as a church volunteer, I have helped oversee the youth groups who have participated
[23:53]
in the Sandwich Project, who have helped pack food at the Atlantic Beauty Food Bank,
[23:57]
as a church employee.
[23:59]
I'm also the one who's been able to help manage where those food trucks go.
[24:04]
So, just for your context, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a headquarters.
[24:08]
At our headquarters, we have a farm, we have a dairy, we have a canary, and what we do is
[24:13]
we produce enough food to supply storehouses all over the country for members of our church
[24:19]
who might be falling on hard times or who might be in need.
[24:22]
If they are struggling with job loss or maybe displacement of their families due to death
[24:28]
divorce any of those things, they are able to free shop at our storehouses and use whatever
[24:33]
cash they might have to pay their bills.
[24:35]
Now we typically produce way more than we need.
[24:38]
And so when we have excess we put that out in the community.
[24:40]
And so part of my job, part of my responsibility, is to determine where those food trucks will go all over the southeast region.
[24:48]
And so I've had the privilege of being able to participate in setting up food trucks to go to the Atlanta Community Food Bank right now in the street as a paid employee, but also the volunteer at our church, seeing our youth get together and create sandwiches and pack bags and distribute it in the community, help out with cleaning up parks and things of that nature.
[25:06]
So I really appreciate the opportunity to see it from both sides.
[25:10]
I think it will absolutely be a blessing to the community and that will be able to link
[25:15]
arms with one another.
[25:16]
It's open to anybody regardless of background, race, religion.
[25:20]
It's just an opportunity for us to come together as a community and uplift those around
[25:24]
us.
[25:29]
So, since the City of South Fulton has already agreed at volunteer, it is awarded as a
[25:40]
And not,
[25:46]
yeah, so this is, I don't know who to get this to, but I will figure that out later.
[25:51]
But we are very grateful for the work that's already been done here in the city.
[25:58]
So this council should be commended for all of its hard work.
[26:03]
And so thank you very much for creating a safe and
[26:07]
loving environment for the residents of the city of South Fulton.
[26:10]
and it's created a great role model for other cities so that is
[26:16]
commendable. Thank you to all of you here. We'll do a group picture for you
[26:21]
after we finished with the question. Okay, so don't go away. We will not go
[26:27]
anywhere but we just want you all to know that it's amazing what you're
[26:33]
accomplishing in what you're doing. And we actually have a storehouse that is
[26:43]
here that's not far from here that has provided non-perishable items to so
[26:50]
many different areas. And it provides so many so much food to different
[26:55]
pantries in different areas so we have a lot of work to do in our in our state and I'm glad
[27:04]
that we have an avenue such as Jesser to help us sort of streamline the process so that it is
[27:11]
organized and I can't wait to see what the city of South Fulton will do and don't worry we will not
[27:18]
leave you hanging. We will help you get started. We will help you get organized and just need to
[27:26]
know who the contact person will be for that. But would love to know if you have any questions
[27:31]
for us, for about just serve or about anything. You have quite a few questions. We'll start with
[27:43]
Councilwoman Rao?
[27:45]
First of all, I want to thank the representatives from just serving here and I want to thank
[27:48]
the City Council because we adopted this just serve resolution.
[27:52]
I guess about a month and a half now.
[27:54]
And I want to thank the staff, Dr. Cooper in particular, as we have compiled a list of all
[28:01]
the volunteer opportunities in the city which there's a pretty extensive list.
[28:07]
So that's where we're going to start making sure people in the community know about the opportunities
[28:11]
that already exist in the city, but working with non-profit providers in the city to also promote their volunteer opportunities, because as you know is always something going on in the city of Southwood, and it'd be nice to have it park in one place for people who want volunteer.
[28:28]
So again, thank the council for your leadership, and we look forward to continuing to promote this and working with public affairs to do that.
[28:37]
Thank you.
[28:37]
Thank you.
[28:38]
All right.
[28:39]
Thank you.
[28:41]
I believe I saw Councilwoman Wright from District 3.
[28:46]
Thanks Madam Mayor.
[28:48]
I'm excited about this program and the opportunities because I grew up volunteering in all my life, so being able to give back to the community is very vital.
[28:57]
I'm just quick question in regards to the app and people being able to go and see the different volunteer opportunities.
[29:04]
Is it somewhere on the app where if people volunteer that they can track what they, you
[29:11]
know, their volunteer hours and then just estimate that the app and the online because
[29:17]
there are some people who don't use apps so you can do the online version of the website.
[29:23]
And you can either create an account by creating an account, it tracks the volunteer hours
[29:31]
and the opportunities that you have engaged in.
[29:35]
You are more than welcome to just go to the website,
[29:38]
put your zip code in, and find opportunities that way.
[29:42]
And that doesn't keep a track of anything.
[29:45]
But if you download the app or you create an account,
[29:48]
you can keep track.
[29:50]
And one thing that's amazing is that I believe once you get
[29:53]
to a certain amount of hours,
[29:55]
you are awarded a Just Serve Hero award.
[29:58]
Thank you very much.
[30:00]
And the council is able to award that to citizens who have, and students who have accumulated so many hours. And then whoever is determined as the person to work with us, we will help you keep in track. I will call you and say, do you know that San has completed 80 hours? And we will help you give this award, an award, award that to them at the appropriate time.
[30:28]
Mayor Procimeville. Thank you, Mayor. Just had a few questions. And again,
[30:32]
And I appreciate the work that you all do in the community as someone that works in a nonprofit sector and have been for years.
[30:39]
We have had the pleasure of working with some of the gestive volunteers.
[30:43]
So kudos to you and your organization.
[30:45]
I've had an opportunity to see you are represented at Georgia Municipal Association and some of the NLC events I do believe.
[30:54]
So thank you.
[30:55]
But I did have a question as it relates to additional nonprofits being added, especially in the sector of providing food.
[31:03]
as you probably know in this particular area we have food and securities and so
[31:07]
we have a lot of nonprofit organizations that partner with various counts of
[31:12]
members to provide food. How can they go about being added to the list especially
[31:19]
as it relates to the food distribution and then we have a lot of college students
[31:25]
who volunteer and so I want to make sure that we can also advertise to our
[31:29]
college students who always they need the hours they need service hours but they're also
[31:34]
going to need those letters so would there be a component where they can get those letters those
[31:38]
two questions thank you she will discuss food I will discuss the award to things like that we
[31:46]
definitely can help with students and being able to get those recommendation letters because we need those
[31:52]
we need those scholarships to come in so we will definitely work with the students and we will
[31:58]
help them keep track, and we will help get them the letters that they need for it.
[32:02]
So you will have a dedicated person to work with you, but just serve.
[32:09]
You're welcome, and then food, yes, so food.
[32:11]
So a part of my job, my actual job title is that I am a welfare self-reliance manager,
[32:16]
and so my work is to help people, families, communities that are struggling to be able to get
[32:21]
up on their feet and provide resources, programs, education, things that are going to help them
[32:25]
become self-sufficient.
[32:26]
And so part of the way that we do that, as I mentioned, is that we provide food to the community.
[32:31]
What San was sharing is these are full semi-truck loads coming out of our headquarters, coming from that church farm.
[32:38]
And so there's only specific places I can send them to, they have to be able to, they have to have a loading dock,
[32:45]
they have to have warehouse space to bring the food directly inside, it can't be brought outside, they have to have a pallet jack and
[32:52]
staff and all the things to be able to receive and store that food.
[32:55]
So typically, I work with large, very large warehouses similar to the Atlanta Food Bank.
[33:02]
And then what I ask is that those smaller food pantries, churches, food banks work with them.
[33:07]
So I know that they support about 200 partners.
[33:11]
And so I would really suggest that if there are churches or pantries for
[33:15]
food shelves that are not partnering with Atlanta Community Food Bank, that they would get with them,
[33:19]
and then get the food directly from them.
[33:20]
Because a lot of what we also want to do is build community relationships.
[33:23]
We'd rather have them building a relationship and creating an alliance with the Atlantic Community Food Bank than necessarily with us per se.
[33:31]
If that makes sense, we will get the food to the food bank, they will get it out to all those other pantries and then strengthen those relationships within the community.
[33:38]
And how to speak with, there is a community food bank near us, it's Georgia Feeding Family, so I would definitely want to give them that information.
[33:48]
I think this would be great because they do provide food and shelter for products right now.
[33:53]
If they're not on the food pink, if they're not part of their partners, double check with them.
[33:59]
I'm also happy to chat with you afterwards.
[34:02]
We are in a, it's 26 pallets full of shelf stable food and commodities.
[34:08]
So sometimes they'll be laundry, detergent, or other items like that.
[34:11]
But there's a lot of food that comes out.
[34:13]
So we have to have very specific guidelines as to where we can send it.
[34:16]
But where they pass it on to, totally up to them.
[34:18]
So we'd like to build those relationships within the community.
[34:20]
Thank you.
[34:23]
Thank
[34:26]
you, ma'am. First of all, thank you guys for what you do. I think this is going
[34:32]
to help us tremendously and also maybe help take a little bit of pressure off of stuff.
[34:42]
One of the reasons why I live where I live is because we tend to reach out and take care of ourselves.
[34:50]
And so we have a lot of volunteers that tend to come forward and to work whenever we put out the call properly, but it's sometimes it's not well organized a little bit.
[35:03]
You have to start early and sometimes make calls.
[35:06]
So I'm looking forward to, you know, having folks join your tool so that we can then use that as a more organized way.
[35:16]
I'm going to go to what you said from the point of view of growing the food because we're
[35:24]
having a lot of discussion about producing food in certain areas of our city, right?
[35:32]
And so the question I have, do you have volunteers at the farm or they just do the events and
[35:43]
And do you also provide any technical assistance for maybe other churches that may have farms and may need some help in increasing their production?
[35:56]
That's a great question.
[35:57]
So the church farm, the canary, the dairy, that is at our church headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah.
[36:02]
They do not take volunteers.
[36:03]
They actually have, they use it as a job training for refugees who are resettling and need to learn kind of the ins and outs of working in the United States.
[36:11]
being able to feed their families, just kind of trying to get the gist of what it's like to be
[36:16]
here in the United States. And so the church farm, while it produces food for all the storehouses
[36:21]
all over the nation, they also use it as a training ground for people that have just come into the country.
[36:26]
Now, I will say that my specific region, I cover North Atlanta, Columbia, South Carolina, and
[36:33]
Raleigh. I believe I was talking with the Catholic Charities and Raleigh. They were asking a
[36:39]
their question about advice on how to work with farms and so I can get your information
[36:44]
afterwards. I do have some information that I shared with them that I'd be happy to
[36:48]
share with you as well as they were kind of at the beginning of trying to set something
[36:51]
up and ask for our advice and some assistance so I was able to give them some information
[36:55]
I can share with you as well. Thank you. You're welcome.
[36:57]
So last question. So I was at a local farm just last Wednesday. We did a feature for our
[37:04]
community market those are last Thursday on a young farmer so I was at their farm and they have
[37:12]
a patch maybe no bigger than those groups of chairs or maybe a little bit larger than those groups
[37:19]
of chairs that they said last summer produced 500 lemons right and so I found that was amazing
[37:26]
for the size that we were looking on and we I had some discussion with them as to what will they
[37:33]
and others need that have big parts of land that have the ability to plant stuff, then they have
[37:41]
the technical expertise, but they're short and labor. Now, I keep hearing you talk about events,
[37:47]
but do you also try to model a way, I know you talk about your farm being in Utah, right?
[37:55]
But I'm interested in having a model where we have these community farms where people can also
[38:02]
to volunteer and learn their own farming at the same time.
[38:05]
Because we're actively trying to do that,
[38:08]
we're, you know, the community where I live.
[38:10]
Yes, I can share information that I sent to Raleigh.
[38:14]
I'm happy to give you my information.
[38:16]
And we can communicate afterwards.
[38:17]
I can share the information I gave to them,
[38:19]
gave to them, excuse me, with you,
[38:21]
so that you can look through that and see if that's gonna help
[38:23]
get you where you're looking to go with the local farms here.
[38:26]
I think the ones that are out west are so large.
[38:29]
They're a great model to start with.
[38:30]
We don't have anything local, though.
[38:32]
What we have here is the storehouse where all of the produce
[38:35]
and shelf table and supplies and whatnot are stored.
[38:39]
And then our community members,
[38:40]
church members, those people that need a free shop can go there.
[38:43]
But we don't have any farms locally.
[38:45]
Thank you.
[38:45]
If it's one thing we learned from COVID,
[38:48]
we have to be in the position where we produce some stuff
[38:52]
ourselves.
[38:52]
Correct, preparedness.
[38:53]
So when that supply chain gets interrupted for whatever reason,
[38:57]
at least we can feed ourselves a little bit.
[38:58]
Absolutely.
[38:58]
Thank you.
[39:00]
Thank you.
[39:00]
Of course.
[39:02]
Okay.
[39:03]
I have one question.
[39:04]
In reference to your volunteers, is it just how do you go about screening them or just
[39:10]
anybody say they can volunteer and they're accepted?
[39:14]
Each organization that posts an opportunity lists criteria.
[39:18]
You list age, what limitations there are to make sure that you're getting the right kind
[39:26]
of people.
[39:27]
So, we, your person who is assigned to work with you can help to make sure that you stream
[39:33]
line the kind of help that you're actually receiving.
[39:38]
Okay.
[39:39]
So they have to come through an organization they just can't sign up individually and say
[39:43]
they want to come and volunteer if you have an event.
[39:47]
They have to go on the website and so you know who's coming to your event.
[39:54]
Okay.
[39:55]
all right what I don't have any further questions I think we're ready to take the
[40:01]
picture okay all right thank you thank you your presentation was
[40:05]
That's wonderful. Thank you. You're welcome.
[43:39]
Okay, Council, we have no further presentations.
[43:43]
would you all, do we need an executive session?
[43:47]
Okay, City Attorney says that we need to have an executive session.
[43:51]
If there's no objections, we can recess for executive session.
[43:57]
All right, we are officially recessed at 434.
[1:20:31]
We're going to reconvene if there's no objection. Was there any action taken in executive session? Madam Mayor, there was no action taken in the executive session that requires a public vote. All right. At this time, if there is no objection, we will go ahead and adjourn this meeting.
[1:20:51]
All right. This meeting is adjourned at 5.11.
