Last week all of us at Idealistics went to meet with two of our clients: Inland Valley Hope Partners and the City of Pomona Community Services Department. The purpose of the meetings was to get out of the office and have the whole team see our systems in action. During our first visit, we met with Isaac Vega, Hope Partners's Program Manager at the Beta Center, one of Pomona’s only food distribution centers. We also met with Nicole Crigler, who works in Hope Partners's shelter, and Wytske Visser, the Executive Director of Hope Partners. Hope Partners uses our case management system to keep track of their client data and report their many successes to funding sources.
After meeting with Hope Partners, we sat down with Andrea Rico, Youth and Family Services Coordinator for the City of Pomona Community Services Department. Through the City's Youth and Family Master Plan (YFMP), we provide a community resources system that helps Pomona residents identify and access available community programs. The system is available online at pomonafamilyresources.org. It was inspiring meeting with Andrea and hearing her vision for the Youth Master Plan.
The site visits were a great way for all of us to see the work our partner agencies are doing. The visits helped our staff understand how what we do fits into the bigger picture of serving those in need. Thanks to all those who took the time to meet with us!
