Stories That Showcase Impact

Industry: Nonprofit

Service: Video Production

Background:

St. Francis Food Pantries & Shelters is a New York City–based nonprofit addressing food insecurity and supporting vulnerable populations through over 40 food banks, pantries, and shelters. Each year, it hosts the “Women of Valor” Awards Tea to honor exceptional volunteers and raise funds for programs supporting women and families.

Challenge

The “Women of Valor” Awards Tea is a key fundraising event for St. Francis. This year, the goal was to connect emotionally with attendees, showcase honorees’ work, inspire volunteerism, and secure critical funding by capturing the human stories behind the awards.

Solution

LGC Studios partnered with St. Francis to produce an on-location video featuring honoree interviews, highlighting their stories and impactful work. Designed for emotional impact, the video premiered at the Awards Tea and was optimized for use across multiple platforms.

The engaging production was designed to be presented at the Awards Tea and repurposed across multiple channels in the future.

The Results

• The video contributed to raising $375,000 at the Women of Valor Awards Tea.
• Funds support essential services, including women’s hygiene kits, across St. Francis’s network of food pantries and shelters.
• Created a deeply engaging and human-focused story that strengthened donor and volunteer connection.
• Provided content designed for multi-channel use, extending the impact of the event beyond the Awards Tea.
