Backfield in Motion focuses on education through mastery of literacy and numeracy skills for at-risk youth that leads to a high school diploma, a foundation for higher education, and the on-job skills needed to enter the world of work. The organization uses athletics as an incentive for academic improvement and is in dire need of a renovation to the building they've worked out of since the 1950s. Project plans include painting the gym, classrooms, bathrooms and the gym floor, as well as replacing worn stage curtains.

Shower the People exists to address the lack of shower, hygiene and laundry services for people who who are unhoused, and this project entails securing a permanent location for the organization. The Shower the People office gives people the chance to shower, wash clothes and pick up necessities before moving into a more permanent living space. This program provides low-income families with clean laundry weekly. A permanent space to continue these services is central to Shower the People’s mission to be successful.
