COUTURE ZEN FOUNDATION / IMPACT
The work, with the evidence behind it.
Numbers help explain the scale of this community effort. They matter most when we are clear about what they measure.
2,500+ documented people helped
Melynda confirmed this documented service figure for The People’s Free Boutique in October 2026. It includes boutique work before the Foundation’s development.
This figure is not a claim of unique households, visits, items distributed, employment outcomes or people served solely by the new Foundation.
407 volunteer profiles with recorded service
The retained volunteer records include 407 profiles with recorded service. We describe this as a profile count, rather than a newly audited unique-person count or a measure of volunteer hours.
Listening to needs
A dated October 18, 2026 outreach snapshot records 955 records reviewed, 623 verified send actions, 57 response messages and 26 known final failures.
The counts measure different things. Send actions are not proof of delivery, and response messages are not necessarily different people. No response rate is inferred.
The snapshot helps guide practical follow-through. It is not a live count of current requests or a promise of inventory.
What we are building toward
We want future reporting to make needs, service and volunteer contribution easier to understand without exposing private recipient information.
We will distinguish requests from appointments, appointments from actual visits, and planned programs from services already delivered.
