Northside Highlight: Unshakeable Motherhood

Featured, Health, One Northside

New Sun Rising, in partnership with One Northside, gives Northside residents the opportunity to make a significant impact in their community through the One Northside Mini-Grant program. The program ignites resident-led community projects with up to $1,000 grants and the support of their Mini-Grant Street Team.

Syreeta Gordon received a Mini-Grant and was able to see her ideas come to life. With the grant funds, Syreeta started Unshakeable Motherhood, a program centered on workshops for Northside mothers. Recently, we got a chance to learn more about Unshakeable Motherhood and Syreeta’s vision:

How did you hear about the One Northside Mini-Grant program?

I heard about the Mini-Grant program from one of my classmates in Power to Prosper program at the University of Pittsburgh. The program is designed to target small business owners interested in managing their long-term growth. My classmate mentioned how the Mini-Grant program helped her to impact the community.

What is your vision?

My vision is to serve mothers in their birth experience, while creating steps to have a well-supported birth, postpartum, and beyond. I hope to help mothers formulate a plan to have clarity about their identity, create a pathway for maternity leave, build confidence to live and serve family, while maintaining identity, and to help them navigate postpartum.

African American women in the United States experience poor maternal health outcomes, including higher rates of death related to pregnancy and childbirth. I am raising funds for moms of color to become birth doulas. My hope is to help women of color experience a well-supported birth.

Tell me a bit about the workshops.

The workshops are designed to guide, inform, and encourage mothers to better prepare for their motherhood journey. Inspired by the Unshakeable Motherhood movement, the themes of workshops range from Debunking Myths on Breastfeeding, What are Doula Services, to Developing Postpartum Maternity Streams of Income.

How did your journey with childbirth prepare you for the workshops?

My two childbirth experiences were very different. The first came in a wave of being a young, single, and inexperienced mother. The second came as mature, married, and more experienced woman. I believe going through both of these experiences has helped me to create and write workshops for mothers.

What is your biggest piece of advice for someone who is a mother and working full-time to create a healthy work-life balance?

That balance is not possible. You can create moments for yourself. Self-care can nurture your health and well-being, which is important for normalizing the chaos that comes with motherhood.

How do you feel the project went, and what is your vision for these workshops moving forward?

The Mini-Grant program did so much for my vision to expand resources for mothers of color. Even though it was a small amount of money, it opened the doorway to connect with other community partners. These workshops have led to some lifetime partnerships that have further developed our vision and business. Moving forward, I would like to continue to host workshops in the community, as well as, host online educational workshops.

Do you have a project to improve the quality of life in your Northside community? To learn more about the One Northside Mini-Grant program and apply online, please visit the New Sun Rising website. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and reviewed bi-monthly, the next deadline for applications are March 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020.

Corporate Citizenship award winner: Allegheny Health Network provides resources to Project Destiny

Health

Allegheny Health Network may be a nonprofit itself, but its efforts supporting people in need and organizations that serve them is extensive.

“Since 2017 we have provided more than $175 million worth of charity and uncompensated care for people coming to Allegheny Health Network facilities,” said Allie Quick, chief philanthropy officer for AHN. “That’s a big piece of what we give that people don’t realize. We are providing care to people who can’t afford to pay for it.”

But those efforts “don’t stop at the hospital door,” according to Quick. The health care and insurance provider also partners with local charities by providing money, volunteers and advisory services.

Perhaps the best example of that outreach is the support for Project Destiny Inc., a North Side-based nonprofit founded in 2004 that provides resources, support groups, cultural and educational activities for children in need and their families.

According to Rev. Brenda Gregg, founder and executive director of Project Destiny, AHN has been an invaluable partner, especially in collaboration with the Build Health Challenge, a national initiative that stands for taking a bold, upstream, integrated, local and data-driven approach to develop sustainable improvements in community health.

“AHN is the largest supporter of our Build Health Challenge,” she said. “They are also a part of the implementation team for this program, including providing us with data to help us determine what are the needs of the families on the North Side.”

Gregg said they are examining issues such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity among local residents, then working on programs that serve those needs.

Other partners in that project include The Buhl Foundation and the Allegheny County Department of Health. Medical services are provided at Allegheny General Hospital.

The approach taken by AHN supporting Project Destiny is one aspect of a much bigger outreach program, according to Quick.

“Our mission is to be a partner in improving health outcomes for the neighborhood and the region we serve,” she said. “We’re involved with a number of organizations throughout the community. Some are small. Some are large. We support the Carnegie Science Center; we’re the presenting sponsor of the Great Race; all of those large-scale events you see in the community where we can have a presence. But we’re also involved on a smaller scale with the nonprofits that are working to improve the region.”

The focus of AHN’s philanthropy, according to Quick, is determining what local residents need and then working with area nonprofits and civic groups to provide education, services and other resources that address those problems.

She said it’s not just about giving money or offering volunteers: AHN is building partnerships with nonprofits to reach shared goals.

“That can be everything from dealing with issues of food insecurity to counseling for opioid addiction to helping moms who are struggling with pregnancy and addiction,” she said. “It’s really a partnership to help folks in the region to live healthier lives.”

AHN maintains a database of employees interested in volunteer work called the Highmark Caring Corps. Participants provide services ranging from working at food banks, mentoring and working at events, to name just a few.

North Side health and wellness program to be created with $250K grant

Health

A partnership of Pittsburgh organizations has been chosen by a national health initiative to develop a health and wellness program for North Side residents with a $250,000 grant.

The BUILD Health Challenge, a national program that uses community partnerships to improve public health, awarded the grant, according to a news release.

The Allegheny County Health Department, Allegheny General Hospital, Highmark, the Buhl Foundation and Project Destiny will work together during the two-year program using the grant funding in order to create a health and wellness model called the “Center for Lifting Up everyBody,” or CLUB.

The model, which focuses on various social determinants of health for improved community and individual wellbeing, will support what began in 2013 as One Northside, an effort to build a healthier community by connecting residents with health and wellness resources.

The model, set to begin in 2018, hopes to address areas like food security, literacy, employment, and maternal/family care, according to the release.

Project Destiny, a resource center that offers cultural and educational programs for children and families, is the principal grant awardee.

Allegheny General will serve as health provider for the program and the Allegheny County Health Department will provide data and public health indicators.

The BUILD Challenge, based in Washington, D.C., was founded by The Advisory Board Co., the de Beaumont Foundation, the Colorado Health Foundation, The Kresge Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

To date, the organization has supported 37 projects in 21 states and Washington, D.C., with 19 communities currently working on initiatives.

National grant aims to improve North Siders health by addressing complex issues

Health

There are 21 files in a cabinet at the back of the office inside Project Destiny’s headquarters building in California-Kirkbride — each one documenting the challenges a North Side family is facing.

Some needed help with a major health crisis, others something as small as buying a bed.

The Rev. Brenda Gregg, Project Destiny’s founder and pastor of a North Side church, said about half of those families came to the attention of the seven-year-old nonprofit because of a child’s chronic school attendance problem.

That might sound like an isolated problem easily solved: Just get the kid to school.

But after working with struggling families in the North Side’s 18 neighborhoods, Rev. Gregg said she and her staff know better than most that it’s rarely just about a child’s struggle to get to school.

“We realize there are other things leading up to that attendance issue,” she said. “Maybe it’s a deeper family issue. Maybe it’s a kid on drugs. Maybe it’s a kid who is not getting clean and they’re getting bullied at school. Maybe they’re caring for a sick parent.”

“The attendance problem just starts our work,” she said.

Their work is about to grow considerably.

Project Destiny is the focal point of an effort to improve the health of the 41,000 North Siders who could use the most help by addressing their needs holistically: Not just any illness they might have, but by also directing them to resources to help with economic problems, food, transportation, as well as educational or housing needs, and anything else that is preventing them from staying healthy.

The organization and a coalition of Pittsburgh nonprofits recently won a $250,000 grant — with $500,000 in local matching funds — from the BUILD Health Challenge that awards money nationally to groups that have bonded together to improve the health of a community. BUILD is a Bethesda, Md.-based organization funded by health foundations and companies seeking to spur innovation.

Project Destiny is working with the Buhl Foundation (which is contributing $250,000), Highmark Health (which also contributed $250,000), Allegheny General Hospital and the Allegheny County Health Department to put into action the “inclusive health” philosophy of trying to address all facets of a person’s situation.

“What makes this so different is you already have awesome things happening — with social issues, like Project Destiny, and things with health issues, like the Center for Inclusion Health at AGH — and this brings those two together,” said Diana Bucco, president of the Buhl Foundation.

Much of the money will be spent hiring two full-time managers at Project Destiny who will oversee up to eight new part-time community health workers who will be responsible for knocking on doors in North Side neighborhoods and finding those people and families who need help.

Rev. Gregg, who spent 38 years as an administrator at Children’s Hospital, said she hopes to get people who already live on the North Side for these jobs, “people who residents already feel comfortable with,” so they can get that granular information about what it is that is impacting a person or family’s health, and direct them to resources.

For the two years of the grant, those door-knockers will track down and find those residents they can help, and learn as much about them as possible. They will feed that information back into a database that will be used to help isolate what “social determinants of health” are most in demand.

Then, the coalition wants to build the Center for Lifting EveryBody Up (CLUB), a health and wellness center to be located somewhere on the North Side. Exactly what the CLUB will contain will be determined by what Project Destiny’s door-knockers find is needed.

“At the CLUB, we want to be able to show people: I know your life is hard. Here is how we can make it better,” Ms. Bucco said.

As they do the work of gathering data, the door-knockers will all be trained to do the work that Project Destiny has been doing for the last seven years: Acting as a source of knowledge about where people can get help.

“What we really want is to develop ‘warm handoffs’ from the community workers to the agencies that can help them,” said Annette Fetchko, regional manager for the Center for Inclusion Health at AGH.

Patrick Perri, medical director for the Center for Inclusion Health, who recently co-authored a paper about the benefits of an inclusion approach, said what he and others in the field have found is that the best method is to have multiple warm handoffs.

“These are complex interventions and they can require multiple avenues to solve problems with housing, education, primary care health access and other areas,” he said.

He particularly likes how Project Destiny uses community health workers to reach out.

“The community health worker model is one of the best ways to engage people who are either geographically or socially isolated,” he said. “And hopefully the BUILD grant will succeed where others have fallen short.”

Winning the BUILD grant pulled together three efforts that had been operating independently of each other until they had a reason to work in concert.

In 2013, about three years after Project Destiny began its work on the North Side with after-school programs and assistance to families, the Buhl Foundation made a decision to refocus a larger share of its annual giving to the North Side — where the foundation’s late namesake, Henry Buhl Jr., had his department store that was the source of his fortune.

That led to creation of the One Northside organization, which surveyed thousands of residents to find out what they believed they needed to improve their neighborhoods, and their lives.

The foundation then had also begun providing some funding for one of Project Destiny’s after-school programs, and pulled Rev. Gregg into the One Northside organization as chair of its early childhood initiative.

At about the same time, Karen Hacker, director of the county health department, learned about the BUILD grant. She initially worked with AGH and a different organization on the North Side, as well as groups in Homewood, to apply during the first series of grant proposals, but they were not successful.

She wanted to try again and when the second round of grants came up, she asked AGH and Buhl, which then turned to Project Destiny to work with them, and they won.

It seemed like a ready-made team.

“One Northside was already trying to improve the overall health of that community, which is more than making sure that any one person gets their diabetes checked on,” she said.

Along with Project Destiny “they were uniquely positioned to take advantage of this grant.”

Ni’Kai Phillips, 7, bows his head in prayer before dinner at the Project Destiny after school program Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017, on the North Side.

If the project proves successful, she said, she hopes it can be replicated in other communities, teaming a foundation, with a neighborhood group and a hospital, to address the complex issues that can lead to poor health.

“To me, watching how this [North Side project] unfolds will be telling,” she said. “If it works, others will want to replicate it.”

Pittsburgh Perry’s food pantry tackles hunger in the classroom

Health

Tucked away in a former computer lab that adjoins the school library sit neatly organized rows of peanut butter, stacks of toothpaste and a table full of fruit cups.

Cans of ravioli are piled along one side, and baggies of travel-sized toiletries are stacked in a back corner.

The bags of jambalaya mix aren’t bad with taco sauce on them, jokes Sheila May-Stein, the librarian at Pittsburgh Perry High School. She usually has a slow cooker going in her library for kids to grab a bite to eat if they’re hungry during the day.

That empty classroom is the home of Perry’s student-run food pantry, the only one of its kind in Pittsburgh. Every week the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank delivers about 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food to the school, where members of the Junior ROTC haul the boxes inside and members of the Gender Sexuality Alliance and the school’s nursing education program unpack and sort the goods.

“We want to solve the problems no one else is stepping up to solve,” said Ms. May-Stein, who is also the faculty sponsor for the GSA. “When you have kids who are eating, they are able to think and to work.”

Perry, in Observatory Hill, enrolls about 430 students. According to district data, about 79 percent of those students are economically disadvantaged. All students in Pittsburgh Public Schools receive free breakfast and lunch, but too often that is not enough, especially for high school students, Ms. May-Stein said. The portions are small, students can’t have second helpings and the food isn’t always very appetizing for kids.

“Even if they eat the free breakfast and lunch, that’s not enough food and it’s not a good enough quality of food to nourish a growing child,” she said.

The food pantry was launched by the GSA club last year, after Ms. May-Stein and other teachers noticed students in the school who were hungry.

One student, who Ms. May-Stein said was “being abused in one home and starved in another,” would always ask to share some of her lunch. And during club discussions about bullying, her students wondered if some kids behaved the way they do because they were lacking something that they need — like food.

The club was inspired after a visit to the Food Bank’s facility, and they came up with the idea to create a food pantry at Perry.

“As soon as we started last year, there were so many people who wanted to help,” said Tamia Trent, a 17-year-old senior.

At first, the pantry was set up like a grocery, with students coming to take what they need. But since not all of the supplies in the pantry are individually portioned, it was challenging for students to carry around jars of peanut butter or boxes of pancake mix in their backpacks, Ms. May-Stein said.

Jacquay Jackson, of the North Side, places a bag of potatoes in a bag for an attendee of the “pop-up” food pantry Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2018, at Pittsburgh Perry High School.

A majority of teachers at the school now come to the pantry to do the “shopping” for their students, and set up food stations in their classrooms. Some, like Ms. May-Stein, have slow cookers in their rooms, or microwaves or mini refrigerators. Other keep snacks, bread and paper plates on hand, and let any student who wants to eat do so during class. Students who need to take food home with them can visit the pantry and take what they need during the last period of the school day.

“They eat in the classrooms,” Ms. May-Stein said. “So they can eat and learn. So when they’re hungry, they just go to class.”

And a handful of teachers volunteered alongside the dozen club and JROTC members on Wednesday, helping the Food Bank staff with Perry’s first “pop-up market” in the school cafeteria. Family members of Perry students were able to come into the school after class let out for the day and fill shopping bags with the usual pantry items as well as fresh produce and frozen meat. The students helped set out about 5,700 pounds of potatoes, onions, cabbages, pantry goods and frozen chicken breast, sausages and other proteins brought to the school from the Food Bank.

“It makes me feel like I’m doing my good deed to help others,” said 15-year-old Destiny Jenkins, a member of the GSA and Ms. May-Stein’s book club, as she distributed four boxes of mac-and-cheese to each visitor.

Jennifer Grus, an English teacher at the school, wore a headband with reindeer antlers on them as she doled out jars of peanut butter and jelly.

“The kids are really into it,” she said. “I think it’s a good thing for them to learn.”

Ms. Grus keeps a supply of granola bars, cereal and trail mix from the pantry in her classroom. A lot of her students are “starving” in the morning, either because they miss breakfast or don’t eat enough. And the school bell schedule has some kids eating lunch mid-morning, so they are famished again by early afternoon.

Rochelle Oaks, another teacher, said students sometimes miss breakfast because class starts so early in the morning. She and Sharon Brentley, whose classrooms are next to each other, call themselves the “CrockPot Connection.” They each make something in the slow cooker once a week — often they crack open some cans of ravioli or spaghetti from the food pantry — and have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches the rest of the week. BreadWorks bakery has been donating bread to Ms. Brentley, who lives nearby.

Principal Darrell Prioleau said for now, there’s no way to measure the effect the school’s food pantry is having on student attendance or behavior.

“What we do know is that when they’re in the building, there is food here in the building for them to eat,” he said.

And the school plans to host more pop-up markets for students’ families at least a few times a year.

“It’s just another way for us to give back to the community,” he said.

Amber Farr, director of the Buhl Foundation’s One Northside initiative, said a community survey four years ago identified food insecurity as a major issue facing residents of the North Side, which has only two groceries. One Northside, along with the Food Bank and Focus Pittsburgh, has a backpack programs for kids at any North Side school who signs up. They leave school Friday afternoons with a bag packed with snacks and non-perishable food to get them through the weekend. Perry takes it one step further.

“I think the pantry that’s set up at Perry is a wonderful way in which to start to tackle this,” Ms. Farr said. “Kids can go in, not feel embarrassed about being hungry. It’s a great resource that they can connect with their teachers and get food from their teachers and food from the pantry. It’s a huge issue, and it’s tied into other issues.”

Ms. May-Stein said she was worried not many people would show up for the market, even those she distributed hundreds of fliers and robo-calls were made promoting it. But about 70 families were served.

Despite the success of the food pantry and the pride she feels for the Perry students and teachers who helped make it that way, Ms. May-Stein said she recognizes that the program is a “supplement,” not a solution to the problem.

“We have a food pantry in the place where our computer lab used to be,” she said. “ We have teachers using up their time — their instructional time — dumping out cans of ravioli for starving kids. This is not such a happy story.”
