SUMS Project

Updated: Mar 30

The aim of this project was to support a local homeless shelter with food resources during the pandemic. I achieved this by communicating with the SUMS organizers about their kitchen needs, optimal delivery dates, and the beneficiaries of this project. Besides coordinating and organizing, I also compiled a list of items and went to the store to purchase and pack them for delivery. This donation, totaling approximately $1600, will provide the SUMS kitchen with a month's supply of food for the homeless. It was a wonderful opportunity to assist our community and those in urgent need, especially due to the pandemic's significant impact.


My sister and I decided teamed up with YLSBC which is a youth leardership organization that I am a part of. Through my mentor's guidance my sister and I decided to purchase items through No Frills as they accommodate bulk orders. To order the items from No Frills I had to create a budget through the list of items provided by SUMS.


I faced very minimal obstacles through the process of the project as a result of strong communication between participants, and the support and guidance of my mentor and of my contacts within the organizations I collaborated with. Implementing a project especially during the pandemic was a challenge enough due to the several precautions and safety measure my team and I were required to take. However, this project is special to me as I helped the homeless and at risk women by aiding SUMS in a cause that provides these individuals with food. I have developed several skills which include social, leadership and communication through this project.


Through this project, I am helping two communities that are especially struggling during the pandemic. I chose to partner with SUMS as they are a trustworthy organization that are providing aid to causes that I strongly believe in. I consequently jumped at the first opportunity to help out as it was my opportunity to give back to the community.


The gesture was much appreciated by the staff in SUMS. The project was proudly announced the on their Facebook.
