Founded in 2011 by Jordan and Nicki Rubin,
Beyond Organic Foundation is a biblically based charity that finds its roots in
James 1:27, which teaches that pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the
Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let
the world corrupt you. Our mission is to provide physical, emotional and
spiritual aid to people in need. We carry out this mission through partnership
with churches, ministries and missionaries to feed, clothe, shelter and care for
people around the world.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our
foundation raises funds through its many generous corporate and individual
donors. We currently provide aid to several national and international
ministries and are working in partnership with Beyond Organic LLC to launch a
revolutionary new program called Give A Meal, Get A Meal.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><strong>Our Board of

For many of these inner-city children, nutritious meals are hard to come by. Often times their most nutritious meals throughout the week come from their school lunch program, or perhaps a healthy snack that UYI is able to offer them as part of the after school program. On the weekends, these kids are frequently left alone, or their families simply have little to no money to buy nutritious foods. In response to this need, we are partnering with UYI to help them continue giving to these kids, even when they are away from the after-school program on weekends. The goal is to send as many of these needy kids home with healthy foods that will help nourish them throughout the weekend. The Food in a Backpack Program will provide UYI with a very tangible and impactful new way to show God’s love to the kids and families they serve. In addition to meeting an immediate need, our desire is that this initiative would begin to set the stage for teaching the UYI children the importance of making healthy food choices in life, particularly in the midst of a community prone to obesity, diabetes and heart disease.<br />

The area has notoriously high crime rates; 32% of youth living in the community are not expected to graduate from high school; over 50% live below the poverty level, and it is more likely that youth from this community will go to jail than graduate high school. Through its programs, UYI seeks to reverse troubling trends and fulfill its mission to love, equip and empower inner-city youth and their parents to fulfill their God-given purpose by offering programs designed to develop critical life skills that result in less juvenile crime, fewer teen pregnancies, less substance abuse, less child abuse/domestic violence, and fewer school drop-outs.
