Description
Mae Organization was founded in 2008, by Martinha Javid and has been operating with a board of volunteers, to combat mental illness in the homeless population through innovative holistic methods. Due to the poverty levels and the overwhelming demand for other services in the community, MAE answered the need by expanding their programs and services. They now provide hot meals, clothing, and toiletries at strategic cities in the State of Rhode Island, they transition clients from the streets to housing and then help with job placement, they work with business to accept and train at-risk individuals, they coordinate detox needs, and much more. They are funded by the generosity of individual, corporate donations, and grants, along with the sale of their themed products. Their goal is to raise $210,000 over the next three years. In addition to fundraising to run the programs, MAE continues efforts to fundraise and apply for grants to raise funds to pay for the lease and utilities of Mae’s wellness center to continue providing their services to all in need.
