We also launched a forum named "empower lunch" - a forum that is geared towards bringing victims of drug abuse, domestic violence etc. In one place with professionals and experts who will share their thoughts on the issues of domestic violence, opiods, covid 19, etc. Thirty (30) sessions were held covering the topics family violence, opiods, naloxone, covid 19 and financial literacy.
We assisted 1,519 persons by linking them with crucial resources including, housing and treatment, legal services, and health related support through our regular engagement with partner organizations.
4. During the year under review, we re-enforced our social media activities and awareness campaigns. Statistics revealed taht we have reached more than 155,000 individuals through program campaigns and activities on our different social media platforms sharing information on family violence, opiods, shelter, homeless services etc. 5. In 2023, we lauched another social media flagship service through a platform called "minnesota blessing accelerated case management service". This program has a membership of over 24,000 persons across minnesota. During 2023, it received more than 5,000 requests for emergency services from different members of communities and has fulfilled more than 3,000 of the requests received. The program was structured to assist people with some basic needs such as food, minimal financial aid, housing, mentorships, and case management. 6. Covid-19 vaccination outreach: in 2023, we provided covid 19 vaccines and other covid related information to over 50,000 people through our social media network and outreach services. These interventions helped our local communities access services that trememdously transformed a significant portion of the youthful population in the minneapolis area and part adjacent. We are poised to improving our service delivery in the year 2024 and reaching out to a greater number of our local population.
