Mission and programs · 2024

• Management / General: This category includes core operational services and essential programming. The Drivers Education Program supported 25 individuals, especially non-English speakers, in obtaining learners permits and driving skills. Other general operations included rent for community space, holiday gift distributions to over 80 children, marketing and outreach, and transportation costs related to program delivery. These services were critical in supporting organizational capacity and direct service provision across all UWMF activities.

  Expenses $43,666 · Grants $45,430

• Resource Directory: In 2024, the organization expanded its community Resource Directory Program, aimed at helping immigrants and refugees in Cedar Rapids connect with essential local services such as housing assistance, legal aid, language support, and employment. The directory is available online and in print, and volunteers assist individuals in navigating these resources. Over 2,00 individuals (immigrant and nonimmigrants) benefited from the directory through direct referrals, educational sessions, and resource navigation support. This program continues to bridge critical gaps in access for newcomers.

  Expenses $21,833 · Grants $22,715

• Grow Pamoja: The Grow Pamoja Program encompasses UWMFs three food pantry operations and urban gardening initiative, providing culturally relevant, nutritious food to families in need while offering education on food systems and sustainability. In 2024, the program served over 5,000 individuals per month across three pantry sites. Fourteen immigrant and refugee growers actively maintained the garden, distributing produce at the Downtown Farmers Market and through the pantry. The program also addressed community wellness, urban agriculture, and food equity.
