From Making A Difference Foundation
Making A Difference Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization with the mission to make a difference in the lives of others, one person at a time, by helping them acquire the most basic needs: food, housing, encouragement, and opportunity. We have grown from providing scholarships and funding for third world humanitarian mission to direct services to clients in the Puget Sound region of Washington with several dynamic programs including: Eloise’s Cooking Pot (ECP) Food Bank, home delivery food service, ECP Garden, Blair’s Sanctuary Garden, Nurturer Program, Children’s Snack/Literacy program, Transitions Backpack Program for the homeless, Joy Box ministries, and the Home for Veterans program.
The Making A Difference Foundation is making an incredible impact in the communities especially Pierce County. Not only for their incredible hard work at the Food Bank but also creating a garden to grown organic produce for the Food Bank and Veterans. In addition to this they help homes for Veterans, Joy Box Ministry for those needing encouragement during a difficult time (ex. death), mobile food banks, and with always thinking outside the box and making things happen with God's help and blessings. They have had many obstacles, difficulties, and challenges facing them bringing a Food bank and programs to help those in need in East Tacoma and other low income neighborhoods and people who are struggling with making basic needs met.
This is a great organization led by an even greater person who deeply cares about her community. I have been lucky enough to work for this organization that has helped me be able to give back to the community in a meaningful way. The programs provided by this organization, Eloise's Cooking Pot Food Bank being among them, truly make a positive impact on the community.
This foundation truly lives its mission statement to the fullest. They have made a giant impact in the community, and the CEO is always looking for ways to contribute to an even greater extent.
