Yours Humanly received a $18,000 donation from TC Energy to fund STEM projects, kits, and supplies for students from underserved communities. We express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the workforce at TC Energy for their generosity and support!

Yours Humanly delivered $15,000 worth of art supplies to Wren Avenue Elementary, School of the Arts (Concord, California), benefiting more than 360 students served by the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. The donation was made possible in part by the financial support of Pledge to Humanity and the work of dozens of volunteers who helped load and unload more than 50 boxes of arts supplies that were delivered in an enthusiastic demonstration of collaboration to the Wren Avenue Elementary campus on September 2.

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Andy Anastassiou to the Board of Directors of Yours Humanly.
 
Andy Anastassiou brings more than 23 years of experience in global strategic account management and sales leadership to the Yours Humanly organization. Originally from England, Andy now holds dual-citizenship and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and children.
 
Andy is passionate about the care and safety of children, our world’s most innocent populations and our future. “Education is the way out of poverty—that’s key. When we help a child in need, the educational tools, technology, resources, and the very act of caring will be a part of that child’s life forever.”
 
When Andy met the Yours Humanly board members, he felt their passion immediately. “I hear it in their voices, I see it in their faces. This is an organization focused on giving children a forever gift and lifting those in need out of poverty with longterm solutions. I’m excited to do my part to advance that mission.”

On August 19, 2020, Yours Humanly was awarded a $1,000 grant from the Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise Rotary Club to fund Chromebooks for students of Bel Air Elementary in Bay Point, CA. We are grateful to Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise Rotary Club for believing in our work and for their generous support and partnership.
