Wednesday Evening Panel - Grassroots Organizations

Speaking Panel about the Barriers Grassroots Organizations Experience

Wednesday April 12th at 7pm
University of Rochester, Rush Rhees Library – Welles-Brown Room

Friends Helping Friends, a local nonprofit organization, was awarded the federal Compassion Capital Fund Targeted Capacity-Building Minigrant in 2005. Andrew Stankevich, FHF Director, will be hosting a panel of community-based/faith-based and grassroots organizations. This would be a good opportunity to meet activists in Rochester and learn more about the programs and work that each of them is involved with.

The panel will be discussing the difficulties that the organizations have encountered from City, County, State and Federal programs and govt. funded agencies while working for change in the community and delivering services to those in need.

In addition to possibly others, the panel will feature Mr. Andrew Stankevich, Friends Helping Friends, anti-violence advocate, Apostle Joy Powell, God's Holy Outreach Ministries and grassroots emergency housing provider, Activist Charles Kellum, Poor People United.
