Convergence & GiveSideways.org
A New Ministry is Born
GiveSideways.org was started in early 2013 on the idea that generosity doesn't necessarily have to begin when you have a lot. We desire to do 2 things: turn your goods into grants, and to create employment in West Oakland.
With one successful campaign complete on the campus of St. Mary's College, we're now asking the Convergence Family to contribute to a campaign to benefit our local ministry partner, The Faith Network of the East Bay!
The First Campaign
Students at St. Mary's College donated 65 textbooks, activating a $1000 grant for Jumpstart, who run preschools in low-income areas.
Our First Employee
Louis came to us by way of CityTeam Ministries. He worked as our first Campaign Processor, taking the textbooks that were donated and listing them online for sale.
Initial Feedback
We received a letter from the Executive Director of Jumpstart, thanking us for our partnership and chronicling the impact to local Jumpstart programs.
