Organizational Strategy Call
Call details
What we'd like to talk about
We would like to talk about rebranding our organization. We need assistance setting priorities and crafting a plan to make best use of Catchafire.
Additional context
The launch for revealing our new name is one month out, and we have a lot left to do before then. No one in our organization has ever done a rebrand, though, so before we start listing projects, we'd like expert input.
"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.

Our mission
We are in the midst of rebranding our organization, which will include updating our mission statement. As is, it reads like this:
Food Moxie empowers children, youth, and families with the values and knowledge to be healthy, strong, and informed through experiential activities centered on urban agriculture, nutrition, and the cooperative economy.
What we do
Guided by our belief that access to healthy food should be a right, and driven by a desire to help people take charge of their health through eating, we offer farm, nutrition, and culinary education programs. Highlights include Hope Farm, the only public school-based horticultural therapy program in Philadelphia for students with autism and intellectual disabilities; Hope Garden, located at an emergency housing facility for families experiencing homelessness, and the site of Garden Club, our program for children and youth, as well as the source of thousands of pounds of fresh produce donations to the shelter kitchen; Hope Kitchen, our budget shopping, nutrition, and culinary program for parents experiencing homelessness; and our partnership with W.B. Saul High School, the largest of only two remaining urban agricultural schools in the country, in which we partner with teachers to get students away from their desks and onto a farm and also run an out-of-school-time program.
Testimonials
Steven was absolutely wonderful to speak with. He asked a number of questions and requested materials ahead of time, so we really hit the ground running for our hour consultation call. He was both generous and filled with great insights -- we are thrilled to have connected with him!
The Food Moxie team was FANTASTIC to work with. This was my first ever Catchafire project and I'm so glad it was with Rachel and Jill. They were super friendly, extremely responsive, and pros at taking constructive criticism :P Anyone looking for a great experience should definitely volunteer!
