Our Founding Story

Resources & Beyond was founded on a simple but powerful belief: no one should have to face hardship alone. What began as a desire to help neighbors in need has grown into a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to providing food, resources, and hope to individuals and families throughout Milwaukee.

Our founder, Sen-Soray Erving, recognized that many families were facing challenges that extended beyond hunger. Access to nutritious food, supportive services, and trusted community connections were often out of reach for those who needed them most. Rather than addressing one need at a time, Resources & Beyond was created to bridge gaps and connect people with the resources necessary to build stronger, healthier lives.

Since opening our doors, Resources & Beyond has become a trusted community partner, serving hundreds of individuals and families through our Community Food Pantry, Summer Meals Program, resource navigation, and supportive services. Through strong partnerships with organizations such as Hunger Task Force, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, local businesses, faith-based organizations, and dedicated volunteers, we continue to expand our impact and meet the evolving needs of our community.

At Resources & Beyond, we believe that every act of kindness creates a ripple effect. Whether providing a meal to a child, connecting a family to critical resources, or creating opportunities for seniors and volunteers to serve, our mission remains the same: to strengthen communities through compassion, dignity, and collaboration.
Today, Resources & Beyond continues to grow with the support of our community, guided by our commitment to ensuring that every individual and family has access to the resources they need to thrive.

Bringing Resources Forward For a Better You.
