The Young Buffet’s are putting systems in place to make philanthropy more efficient and effective!

Today Step Up was the recipient of a $5,000k contribution check as part of the launch of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services – the first-ever lending of the Warren Buffet brand to what was formerly Prudential Realty. Congratulations to David M. Cabot, President & CEO of California Properties Southern California and Central Coast! And a huge thank you to Chair Martha Mosier and the Selection Committee of the Berkshire Hathaway Charitable Foundation! And the young Buffet’s (two grandson’s) are also showing their commitment to philanthropy through their innovative “Learning by Giving” Foundation launched in 2011. “They try calculating the amount of social good that will come out of a program or project, just as Warren would on a return on investment.” Read more in this article by Beth Kowitt, Fortune Magazine, Oct. 7, 2013: http://money.cnn.com/2013/09/19/news/buffetts-philanthropy-duplicate.pr.fortune/index.html

We launched a new cooking class with our Vets last week at Building 209 with two enthusiastic volunteer chefs! We’ll be cooking new recipes weekly using the vegetables and fruits we’re growing in our edible community garden. Contact our volunteer coordinator at chealy@stepuponsecond.org if you’d like to come volunteer and help out.

Over the past few weeks, we've welcomed volunteer teams from The Home Depot, AXA XL, and Calsense to the West Los Angeles VA Campus to collaborate on the constructing and planting of garden beds and a small citrus grove in Building 209’s own backyard. The beds include tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumber, eggplant, strawberries, and basil.

Team Depot funded the project with a grant of $8,000 to cover the costs of materials that included raised beds, drip irrigation, all planting material, sheds, gardening tools, and patio furniture. The Vets have formed a gardening club to monitor the watering and maintenance.

“We decided to make the housing unconditional...To say, look, you don’t need to solve your problems before you get a home. Instead, a home should be the secure foundation that makes it easier to solve your problems.” - @JKaakinen https://t.co/dtiqpEPFax
