Wonder Women with Yolanda Carvajal: Empowering Communities with Branches’ Alison Loases

On this episode of Wonder Women, host Yolanda Carvajal, founder of Beeliver, welcomes Alison Loases, Development Coordinator at Branches.

They discuss the mission and impact of Branches, a nonprofit organization established in 1973 as the urban and social justice agency of what is now the Southeast District of the United Methodist Church. Over the decades, Branches has worked to support underserved communities through advocacy, grassroots organizing, and programs addressing social crises such as immigration, housing, hospice care, and disaster relief.

Today, Branches focuses on tackling the root causes of poverty by providing education, financial wellness programs, family support services, and opportunities that empower individuals and families to pursue life-changing opportunities.

This conversation highlights community leadership, nonprofit impact, and the importance of creating pathways for long-term success in South Florida.
