Mehta Marketing Inc., a business consulting firm based in the greater Pittsburgh area, helps clients around the country develop vision, strategy, and passion. They develop tailored, bespoke strategies to help some of the nation’s most prominent brands achieve their goals. In the following article, Mehta’s recent philanthropic endeavors are discussed.
The firm isn’t just in the business of helping Fortune 100-1000 companies expand their enterprises; they also regularly volunteer and are dedicated to philanthropy and using their success for good.
As such, many employees of the Mehta Marketing philanthropy team recently volunteered with World Vision, a registered 501(c)3 organization helping to fight the global hunger crisis through more than just food, to supply a range of apparel to thousands of people.
This volunteering effort and the firm’s other philanthropic endeavors prove the business’ commitment to making the world a better place.
World Vision: Fighting the Global Hunger Crisis
World Vision notes the worldwide hunger crisis that is currently seeing 21 million children face the heart-stopping effects of starvation. To put this number into perspective for United States citizens, they say it’s the populations of New York City, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Phoenix combined.
The economists and data analysts at the nonprofit organization say rising general costs, the pandemic, regional conflicts, and extreme weather are all contributing to the severity of the hunger emergency.
And the ongoing war in Ukraine certainly hasn’t made life easier for anyone, including those suffering starvation, because the Russian Federation and Ukraine itself supply nearly one-third of the world’s cereal grains and two-thirds of the globe’s sunflower oil.
Humanitarian Organization Proves That They Make a Positive Impact
While the hunger crisis is far from solved, the faith-based humanitarian charity has made giant leaps forward, thanks to their partnerships and continued passionate efforts.
In fact, 89% of severely malnourished children that World Vision treated made a full recovery, and the organization is statistically the World Food Program’s biggest distribution partner!
And the charity shows no signs of slowing down. Edgar Sandoval Senior, the president, and CEO of World Vision U.S., says globally, we are dealing with the modern time’s worst hunger crisis, and there are 40 million people around the world on the edge of starvation, and almost half of those are children.
To continuously combat this statistic, the organization employs four values:
- High impact — The charity keeps its costs down to ensure most of its expenses directly impact children, their families, and their communities. Based on data for 2021, World Vision put 90% of the year’s operating expenses into their programs.
- Community-based and child-focused — The group ensures it tackles poverty from the ground up for maximum results. The brains behind World Vision concocted an integrated approach to combat hunger from all sides. This method includes child protection, water, healthcare, education, and income generation, allowing every young person to meet their full potential.
- Loving — The volunteers and nonprofit employees work alongside the oppressed and the poor to demonstrate its deity’s unconditional love for all. The charity protects all children, regardless of their faith.
- Courageous — World Vision has a whopping 70-plus years of experience working with partners, communities, governments, and donors to make opportunities for brighter futures.
Mehta Marketing Volunteered with World Vision to Supply Clothing
With such exceptional values, it’s no wonder the Mehta Marketing philanthropy team was delighted by the opportunity to volunteer with World Vision Sewickley, located at 210 Overlook Drive, Sewickley, PA.
This World Vision facility acts as the global distribution center for the charity’s Gifts in Kind program, which allows companies to get rid of excess products in a way that doesn’t just help the environment but children in need.
While Mehta’s employees volunteered at the nonprofit’s Sewickley center, they helped with the Gifts in Kind program’s humanitarian aid. They managed to source five filled-to-the-brim pallets of clothing that helped 3,000 people in need.
The volunteers helped pick up, process, and distribute the apparel from overstocked manufacturers and retailers to people around the world who needed them most.
The charity rapidly aligns the Sewickley center’s donations with the demand as per the pre-defined plan. Then, volunteers like those from Mehta Marketing help pack and pallet the supply for easy shipment.
Mehta Marketing Philanthropy Team Continues Commitment to Weekly Volunteering
Helping World Vision Sewickley is just one of the many ways this consulting firm proves its commitment to passionate philanthropy and humanitarian aid. From The Haven House to food bank donations, the company is bound to continue pursuing a better life for the entire planet.
