Our collaboration with the Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center, a 729-bed continuing-care facility, has been pivotal. We have collaborated with healthcare staff and clergy to engage residents and staff members in spiritual and life engagement sessions through Alpha. Via this initiative, we've been especially present to low-income resident patients in the East Harlem community. In our programs, we've reached individuals in need, offering hope and attention through companionship, spiritual direction, education, and holistic care to residents, especially during the early weeks of COVID-19.

At Vista on 5th Ave, an assisted living and rehabilitation facility for older adults, our programs through Alpha have contributed to the well-being of a diverse group of individuals (Christian, Jewish, Islamic, agnostic, and atheist residents). Irrespective of religious affiliation, residents were eager to engage in weekly Alpha discussions with our team leaders. By providing hope and attention through God-centered direction, community bonding, and spiritual conversation with residents, we aimed to ensure that seniors were heard and seen. They reported and expressed feeling more lively, dignified, spiritually cared for, engaged, and vibrantly supported through our spiritual reach, regardless of their background.

Similarly, our partnership with First Baptist Church in New Haven, CT, has allowed us to serve a diverse population, including Congolese refugees. Through educational initiatives, preaching, and engagement in the community, we've empowered individuals to make informed decisions about their holistic and spiritual health and well-being.

In collaboration with Saint Cecelia-Holy Agony Catholic Church, we've trained over 30 lay leaders in three cohorts to run free inclusive Alpha programs for East Harlem residents. These programs focus on spiritual development, fostering unity and ecumenism in Jesus Christ, emboldened faith, and expanding church outreach beyond the immediate church community to the more excellent neighborhood of East Harlem/El Barrio.

Our collaboration with First Baptist Church in Meriden, CT, a faith and mission-based community, allowed us to extend our outreach to a diverse population. Through educational initiatives, we've empowered individuals to make informed decisions about their holistic and spiritual health and well-being.

Partnering with Kool Nerds Connect, a career readiness company focused on introducing inner-city diverse students to future workforce possibilities, allowed us to offer middle and high school students valuable information on holistic nutrition. We provided mentoring and exposure and introduced holistic nutrition, coaching, and wellness careers as potential avenues for professional development.
