I don’t have anything to hide; all my data is public anyway” •“I don’t have any budget authority, my job role is only XYZ, so it doesn’t matter if someone gets into my account” Reality •All users are important because you have access to your organization network and/or e-mail. A compromised account can launch phishing attacks on other users in the org, spreading viruses, malware, and ransomware, causing breaches/fraud.

Organization •Foodlifts •Contact: Arjun Nathan •Instagram: foodlifts_org •Tiktok: foodlifts_org Organization Continued •FoodLifts.org is a youth-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing food insecurity and reducing food waste in the Bay Area. Our organization primarily focuses on collecting and transporting surplus produce from farmers markets to food banks, food pantries, and community service organizations in our area. Currently, we have two chapters at the Irvington Farmers Market and Milpitas Farmers Market, where we collect surplus food every week. Our produce is primarily donated to West Valley Community Services How long has your organization been active? •1 Year How many participants? •Our organization serves close to 200 families every week. How many events? •We host 2 events at both the Milpitas farmers market and the Irvington Farmers Market every week. In total, we've hosted over 30 events at these two market locations alone. How Does the Organization Engage Participants? •The primary way our organization engages participants is through volunteering opportunities. We recruit volunteers to help us rescue produce while providing them with certified volunteer hours for their contributions. The primary way we've recruited volunteers is through partnerships with volunteer organizations as well as outreach through social media. What are the Plans for the After Graduation? •As the executive director and founder of Foodlifts, I made sure that all of the officers I recruited would only be there on a term-basis, which means they would have to reapply again after 6 months to be considered for the team. This way, we are ensuring new people and new leadership will continue to flow through this organization, so even when I graduate high school, our team will have new faces and new people to keep running. What Makes the Organization Unique? •This organization is unique because we strive to not only feed people in need but serve quality nutritional food. One of the reasons I started this organization was because many organizations only prioritize serving people food, regardless of the quality of the nutritional value of the items they serve. I decided to take a different approach by collecting primarily at farmers markets because of the abundance of fresh organic produce. Why should Teen Commission Highlight the Organization? •I think the Teen Commission should highlight our organization because of the work we do for the city of Cupertino to ensure people who face food insecurity get access to quality nutritious food. The organization we donate to (WVCS) has also told us the appreciation they have for the work we do, since we donate roughly 800-1100 lbs of food to them every single week. They have also told us that since we began donating to them(around 4 months ago), their customers have had access to roughly twice the amount of produce and a greater selection of fresh goods at their pantry.
