All Faith’s Pantry is a nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering groceries to low-income seniors with mobility issues at no cost to the recipients. All Faith’s Pantry prides itself on being volunteer run; almost 100 volunteers unload a truck, pack bags, and deliver the groceries directly to the seniors’ homes. The organization provides a three-day supply of non-perishables to around 400 households per month.

All Faith’s Pantry is a partner agency of the Cleveland Food Bank, who they receive food from. The organization also receives support in the form of grants from The McGregor Foundation, which helps purchase items the Cleveland Food Bank doesn’t supply, such as cleaning products, flashlights, first aid kits, and paper products. In 2022, All Faith’s Pantry received a $15,000 grant from The McGregor Foundation to assist in paying the overall operating budget.

Asian Services in Action Inc. (ASIA) serves the Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) community by providing comprehensive wrap-around services. This organization aims to provide quality, culturally, and linguistically appropriate information, health, and social services in Northeast Ohio. ASIA aligns with McGregor’s mission because they believe seniors need supportive and social environments where they are assisted while leading fulfilled and meaningful lives. In 2022, ASIA received a $20,000 grant from The McGregor Foundation to help support their mental health programs.

The Community Partnership on Aging (CPA) is a collaborative consortium of six cities: Lyndhurst, South Euclid, Richmond Heights, Mayfield Heights, Mayfield Village and Highland Heights. It offers a wide range of services to older adults such as social work, food distribution, and transportation. These services help seniors become more independent in their homes as their needs change. The grant of $24,600 from The McGregor Foundation helped to create information material, distribute products used in the cooking classes, and hire personnel for the 360 Nutrition classes.

The East Cleveland Public Library offers a variety of programs and resources for all ages, which include but aren’t limited to the following: notary and passport services, access to books, computers, and cultural classes. It opened in 1916 with the long-term vision to “cultivate and embolden” the literacy of patrons and community members alike. In 2021, the library was given a $20,000 grant from The McGregor Foundation, and part of these funds paid for the NorthStar literacy software training, which contains literacy assessment tests, as well as supplemental videos that teach basic computer and software skills.
