Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Miami Community Fridge Initiative - In 2020, Buddy System opened 5 community refrigerators in Miami with the goal of fighting food insecurity by empowering neighbors to support neighbors. A community fridge is a refrigerator located in a public space that enables food to be shared amongst the community. Anyone can put food in and take food out The aim is to reduce food waste and support people facing hardships by providing access to fresh, nutritious food. In 2020, we served 48,800 meals to upwards of 1500 people experiencing food insecurity through this program$0$70,828
Homebound Food Access - In 2020, Buddy System placed about 1000 homebound people in the COVID at-risk demographic with volunteers who assisted them with food access to help limit their exposure to the virus. This extensive Buddy System helps those who are elderly or immunocompromised and also experiencing financial hardship receive free food deliveries on a weekly basis from a committed volunteer.$0$922
With COVID-19 exacerbating financial hardships, Buddy System hopes to be able to uplift our clients with well-rounded, sustainable support, in addition to food relief, during this hard time. In response to our clients' most pressing needs, we've created an Immigration Legal Aid Fund. Contributions will go directly toward supporting immigrants with sponsorship of legal aid fees during this unprecedented time. We supported 5 individuals through this program. Consider signing up for a monthly donation to support all Buddy System endeavors.$0$690
Mental Health Initiative - As an organization, Buddy System is committed to grassroots community engagement. We listen to people from the communities we serve and meet them where they are at. In direct conversation with Floridians, we hear over and over again the need for affordable and accessible mental health resources. That is why we have partnered with Wellspring Counseling to offer our clients sessions with licensed therapists- either at affordable rates or completely free of charge depending on need. Buddy System and Wellspring Counseling are committed to working cooperatively to identify and provide for those in need of mental health counseling, consultation, and/or education on the behalf of individuals, families, and communities.$0$500
