In the heart of our mission at Be Engaged lies the Help Now! Program, our outreach arm dedicated to reaching those in our community who need assistance the most. With a motto that embodies our ethos—“It's about more than reaching out; it's about going out to reach the people who need the most help”—we strive to make tangible impacts through person-to-person interactions, distributing our stickers, flyers, informational cards and through our mobile app.
Despite strides towards progress, the reality remains stark: one in four people in San Francisco and over 60% of college and university students in California face food scarcity daily. Our response is rooted in proactive engagement, utilizing our Essential Resource List (ERL) stickers and cards, alongside informative flyers, to empower individuals with the knowledge and access to available resources. At Be Engaged, we recognize that simply providing resources isn't enough; it's about fostering genuine connections and empowering individuals to utilize the help that's within their reach.
As the number of individuals facing the debilitating effects of poverty continues to rise, the urgency of our mission is more pressing than ever. In our own community, every person counts, and it's incumbent upon us to ensure that no one is left behind. Together, let's bridge the divide and extend a helping hand to our neighbors in need, because true community begins with compassion and action.
