Good news: Our August Cooking Camp was a success!

Here is a picture at the end of our Cooking Camp, where kids had the opportunity to bake and cook new things, and learn the importance of both teamwork and nutrition, all over the course of 5 days!

We would like to extend a special thanks to 's Simi Valley location, and the American Online Giving Foundation for sponsoring this event, and Chef Joyce Nakanwagi for working with us to give these kids such an opportunity!

Minority Wealth Gap would like to host more events like this in the future, but it's only possible with continued support from donors who want to give back to underrepresented communities. Donate today @ https://avvmtgju.donorsupport.co/page/FUNSHHMBTQJ

MWG would like to thank all of you for the continued support!

My mama didn't birth no punching bag.💔

In this viral video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5cSvQuPHkU&list=WL), a mother explains how domestic violence forced her and her young children onto the streets. When shelters are at capacity, she relies on temporary hotel stays ($75/night) just to keep her babies safe.
This is the reality for 44% of unhoused women in Los Angeles who are forced to choose between abuse at home or the uncertainty of the streets.

Listening to this mother’s story highlights the exactly what we fight every day at Minority Wealth Gap:
1) Immediate Safety: Through our partnership with ReloShare (https://www.reloshare.com/safe-stays-credits/minority-wealth-gap), you can purchase Safe Stays Credits to fund confidential, immediate hotel lodging for families escaping violence.
2) Long-Term Stability: Like the mother in this video who pleaded "I want to work... I just want us to keep together," MWG provides job readiness and housing support to rebuild lives.

And you don't have to wait for a viral moment to save a family.
Donate @ https://avvmtgju.donorsupport.co/page/FUNMFMRZFRK or buy Safe Stays credits @ https://www.reloshare.com/safe-stays-credits/minority-wealth-gap today to bring an LA family home.

At MWG 's Cooking Camp, we believe healthy habits go way beyond the kitchen counter. That is why we are thrilled to announce that MWG 's Cooking Camp is partnering with for their amazing Family Fun Day on August 8th at Sepulveda Garden Center.

This partnership brings our mission to life by showing our campers the complete food cycle. Kids learn how kitchen scraps turn into healthy soil and they will be able to connect the food they cook with how it grows.

Come see how we are connecting food, nature, and community while giving your child an unforgettable summer!

Space is limited for our August 4th–8th Cooking Camp! Call +1 (862) 371-9781 to secure their spot today.
