Executive Director Derrick Mann
Pastor Derrick Mann, a seasoned music producer and digital media content creator, has
a rich history of developing programs for youth and young adults across the San
Francisco Bay Area over the past three decades. His contributions include creating
templates for organizations like Youth Uprising (Project YES), media programs for
YMCA Oakland, and various after-school programs.
Pastor Mann has governed and operated several music studios and facilities that have
served as empowering spaces for young people. Notably, he managed an 8,500 sq. ft.
facility in Oakland for over a decade from the early 90s to the mid-2000s.
This industry plaza was well-equipped with ten recording studios, a full-scale printing
press, a t-shirt press, a sound stage, an event center with three stages, a deck featuring
a waterfall with rocks, and a beach setting adorned with two 15-foot palm trees. It also
housed a Graphics Company, film and editing suites with green and blue screens,
rehearsal halls, and more.
The production house was frequently utilized by renowned artists such as Jay King
(Club Nuevo), Dewayne Wiggins (Tony-Toni-Tone), Suga T. (E-40 and the Click), and
Money B (Digital Underground), to name a few.
In addition to his contributions to the music and media industry, Pastor Mann has led
numerous cause-related projects addressing issues that impact young people, including
violence, food insecurity, and workforce development.

Our Mission
Our mission is to create a collaborative platform that will help our children and young adults. We bring together organizations, charities, philanthropists, clergy, governments, and concerned citizens to address the pressing issue of food insecurity.
Living Water Outreach Services (LWOS), based in Northern California, is a collective movement involving individuals from various backgrounds and professions. Our goal is to inspire and enable people to make meaningful contributions through financial aid, goods, skills, time, or prayers. This united effort focuses on providing impactful support to those experiencing extreme poverty in the world's most underprivileged communities.
We are committed to combating global hunger by providing meals to families. Challenges we address include civil unrest, uprisings, crop and food supply destruction, and the lack of self-sufficiency. We also prioritize teaching gardening skills to empower individuals to grow their food. We believe everyone plays a crucial role in the fight against hunger. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the world.
