LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE TEAM

Dear Hunters Point Family Members, Friends, and Supporters:

It is 2011 and we are living in interesting times. So much of the world seems unstable. Extreme weather

patterns chill our spine as we wonder how permanently and dramatically we have really altered our environment.

The dismal economy causes one to wonder how much worse things will become before the bottom drops out. For us

in Bayview Hunters Point, the spiritually crushing violence that besieges our c

ommunity continues to haunt us, as we

struggle to find the light in a grim and brutal reality.

Bayview Hunters Point has been disproportionately impacted by the economy as evidenced in our extreme

statistics of unemployment, incarceration rates, income and educational levels. We have become the poster children

for the environmental movement, as we claim the highest rates of cancer, asthma, heart disease, obesity, and inf

ant

mortality in the country. Bayview Hunters Point is among the top 10 unhealthiest communities in the United States

as evidenced by almost every socio-economic indicator. And still we have hope. This hope is not borne out of a

naiveté about our situation. It is borne from a deeper knowledge and faith, that within us lies the answer. As

captured in our City’s emblem, the Phoenix rises from the ashes. Bayview Hunters Point is the Phoenix.

While working diligently to maintain and build our youth leadership and development programs, the Hunters Point

Family (“HPF”) has been developing plans to transform every one of our obstacles into

great blessings:

Unemployment & Poverty: HPF launched the Ujamaa Employment and Entrepreneurship division which

provided job training and placement services to over 250 clients in FY 10-11.

Poor Health & Nutrition: HPF staff and participants worked together to create the Get Fresh Juice Bar &

Café, a social enterprise that will provide affordable, organic juices, smoothies, and snacks to the community. Get

Fresh will source many of our products from our 3 community gardens while providing employment opportunities and

management training to high risk young adults from the community, in addition to a revenue source to support the

agency’s youth development programs.

Environmental Degradation: HPF, in partnership with other community based organizations in Bayview

Hunters Point, collaborated with the City and County of San Francisco, educational institutions, environmental leaders,

engineers, and scientists to create one of the country’s first “G

reen Colleges” to provide education, training and

careers for community residents in the green economy.

Diamonds are lumps of coal under tremendous pressure, over time. The Hunters Point Family is in the process

of morphing into a diamond. Under every ounce of pressure, we have called out for the light.

As a result, the

fundamental structure of our being is transforming into the strongest, most brilliant substance on earth.

We are

committed to illuminating a new path into prosperity and abundance of the heart, mind, and spirit. We are grateful to

all of you who have joined us along this path and invite you to lend your tale

nts, assets, and network to collectively

achieving this vision.

Sincerely,

Takai Tyler Executive Director

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES

F rom its inception in 1997, HPF implemented our “Healthy Lifestyles” program in response to the health and environmental conditions that directly impact our children. Healthy Lifestyles includes: Healthy cooking classes, a free food pantry, 3 urban farms, job training and placement, and

Somethin’ Fresh, HPF’s youth run-produce delivery social enterprise.

HPF’s urban farms provide training, support, and resources to develop food security and sustainability in Bayview Hunters Point. The Hunters Point Family’s farms germinated an abundant crop of urban farmers, skilled gardeners and permaculture experts, thereby increasing our capacity to grow food for the community and create employment opportunities.

In 2010, HPF partnered with the San Francisco Housing Development Corporation and Radio Africa to develop and maintain the Bayview Roots Community Garden— a reclaimed lot at the Mendell Plaza on Third Street. The garden beautifies a blighted area while producing organic produce for the Radio Africa Restaurant, directly across the street, and employment for HPF youth. Each year, HPF trains approximately 75 youth in organic gardening and permaculture techniques. HPF offers a permaculture certification course taught by master permaculturalist Starhawk. HPF’s gardens produce over 1,000 pounds of food, year round, that is distributed to youth workers and residents of the surrounding public housing developments.

Social EnterpriseThe Hunters Point Family is in the process of launching our newest social enterprise, the Get Fresh Juice Bar & Café. This exciting project is the result of the hard work and support of many important partnerships. Ben Golvin, Principal of Equity Builders has acted as the Project Manager on a pro-bono basis; Rob Anderson of Field Paoli Architects provided all architectural renderings pro-bono. AT&T, JP Mogan Chase, and Wells Fargo invested in the Get Fresh Young Entrepreneur Training program to train participants to operate and manage the café. Advisory Board Members Jeff Millikan, Kendra Stanley, Nikki Berkowitz, Jeff Segal, owner of Heart Restaurant, and Lynette Sweet have worked tirelessly to raise funds and secure resources for the implementation of Get Fresh. John Vidovich of Sunny Gem Farms has committed to providing agricultural products at Get Fresh and Michael Minna will help develop the menu and to-go products such as salads, sandwiches, and wraps for sale at Get Fresh. Chris Middlestaedt of the Fruit Guys continues to mentor and provide fresh fruit for HPF’s youth led social enterprise, Somethin’ Fresh Produce Delivery.
