Our Shared Kitchen, Senior Access and Yellow
Bike Project named recipients of the fourth annual Q-mmunity Gives
grant program
Austin FC and Q2 Holdings Inc. today announced the three
recipients of the 2024 Q-mmunity Gives grant program. Local
nonprofit organizations Our Shared Kitchen, Senior Access and
Yellow Bike Project will each receive a $50,000 grant to focus on
advancing underrepresented communities in Central Texas.
“We’d like to congratulate Senior Access, Yellow Bike Project
and Our Shared Kitchen on their accomplishment,” said Austin FC
President Andy Loughnane. “We are extremely proud to work alongside
our partners at Q2 for a fourth consecutive year in an effort to
support local organizations that remain committed to providing
equal opportunities for all Texans.”
“At Q2, our mission is to build strong and diverse communities
by strengthening their financial institutions,” said Q2 Chairman
and CEO Matt Flake. “We are proud to partner with Austin FC to
recognize Our Shared Kitchen, Senior Access and Yellow Bike Project
for the impact they make in Central Texas. Through the Q-mmunity
Gives grant program, we look forward to empowering these
outstanding organizations to continue the great work they are doing
to support and serve the needs of our community.”
Our Shared Kitchen’s mission is to increase access to nutritious
food among individuals experiencing homelessness and food
insecurity in Austin. The nonprofit prepares and delivers healthy
and free meals to unhoused Austinites through its mobile delivery
model, providing not just food but dignity and hope.
“Winning the Q-mmunity Gives grant has a major impact on our
organization. The funds will cover the cost of over 12,000 of the
meals that we will serve next year and feed thousands of unhoused
and food insecure Austinites,” said Our Shared Kitchen Founder
& President Ari Vinograd. “These meals are healthy, delicious
and made from scratch in our commercial kitchen. This grant will
allow us to provide not just food but dignity and hope to
underrepresented members of our community.”
Senior Access provides free transportation and support services
that enhance independence and quality of life for seniors in
Central Texas. The nonprofit focuses on low-income areas, seniors
who cannot afford transportation, and Austin’s aging neighbors who
need a safe, reliable way to get around.
“Senior Access is extremely grateful for the support of the
Q-mmunity Gives grant program. This community grant will not only
help provide our older adults a safe, reliable and free ride to
medical appointments, grocery stores and community events but will
help spread awareness of the growing needs of our older adult
community,” said Senior Access Executive Director Serita Lacasse.
“Your support is making a difference and allowing more seniors Age
in Place!”
Yellow Bike Project is a nonprofit community bike shop with
grassroots origins focused on empowering individuals through
life-changing transportation, educating people to learn about
bicycles and reviving bicycles to put them back on the streets of
Austin and make them available to all.
“Thanks to the generous Q-mmunity Gives grant, Yellow Bike
Project will provide bicycles to hundreds of Austinites who
otherwise would be without. For a new immigrant with no driver’s
license or bus pass, this bicycle will allow them to get to a job
interview, a new job, or language classes,” said Yellow Bike
Project Board Member James Robertson. “For a student, this bike
might be the difference between getting to school or not. For a
young child, this bike might provide important exercise, the first
taste of freedom, and perhaps even the ability to get to soccer
practice. We absolutely will change peoples’ lives with this
grant.”
The three (3) grants will contribute directly to aiding each
organization in its respective mission related to promoting equity
and inclusion in Central Texas. The Q-mmunity Gives grant program,
funded and presented by Austin FC and Q2, will continue to award
Q-mmunity Gives grants annually.
