Today was another hot one, so it was expectedly quiet. Yet it was more so an opportunity to offer more to our friends tgst we did encounter. We went out with our now standard cinnamon raisin oatmeal and egg wrap breakfast options, served along with extras. Of those extras, the most well received item we served today was ice cold bottled waters. It’s amazing how many people are in need, and it’s amazing how many more soon will be. The state of things is very fragile, and we are determined to keep helping those who can’t seem to connect with resources just yet. Resources beyond our scope, such as housing, employment, etc.. However, we do offer assistance in seeking out those entities, while maintaining a working relationship, through which we keep an open line of communication and continue to provide consistent and quality service to our friends. The process of transitioning to self sufficiency is difficult, and it can often times be a long and drawn out process, but it’s absolutely doable. We will continue to push that message and continue to be there for our brothers and sisters in need, our friends!!

Well it’s starting to happen. The new faces are replacing the old, and try the old faces are re-emerging. It’s always nice to see the people you care about still holding on, and hanging with it. It’s tough out there for anyone, yet everyone isn’t ready for that kind of tough. This is our second outing in the past 4 days, and on both occasions, we were told to be cared by our friends. Just be aware, was the general consensus. However, we must stay the course, but not necessarily stick to the script. As we served breakfast today, you could see that there was a concerted effort to keep people moving, especially from the storefronts, most of which are boarded up anyway. Yet we still served, as we were somewhat made uneasy by the presence of VPD, because the need is still prominent. With egg wraps and oatmeal to choose from, for the second week in a row, we also included a lunch option. Fortunately for us, bringing extra focus was a great decision , because we had just enough to help the very last person we saw as we closed out the breakfast run. With an awareness of a rapidly changing landscape, we are going to go out this Saturday to try our best to galvanize everyone around a message of unity in prosperity. We are pleased to also say tgst we will be continuing to serve the Crest again, as we have reestablished our connection with our relay person. All in all, it is truly going to be a labor of love, as it’s always been, but in addition it will be an endeavor to foster hope and encourage growth. So with that rather scattered, cohesive message, we say have a wonderful rest of your week, and see y’all Saturday morning in the streets of Vallejo.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!! https://www.facebook.com/MLKHumanityProject/ This past Saturday was a very quiet yet busy outing. Again, we encountered new faces, and new situations. We are dedicated to helping the most vulnerable amongst us, but even more so the most vulnerable amongst them. That would clearly be children, women, and the elderly. Well fortunately we haven’t seen many children, so that’s good, however there are lots of women who need some help with safety. With resources at a minimum, we are very concerned for them considering the devolving situation in the area of resources. We can and will do all they we can, but we aren’t big enough on our own. We would require a well funded partnership, with a private entity or the municipality, and plan to see it through. Having been greatly hampered by the pandemic, the limited availability of resources are a challenge, but not an insurmountable one. As we press forward on our mission of EMPOWERING OTHERS TO EMPOWER THEMSELVES, we certainly hope you will find the time to look into our organization further, and hopefully decide to help out by donating to our efforts. As a reminder, we will be out Tuesday to serve breakfast, so see y’all then!
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram! https://www.facebook.com/MLKHumanityProject/ Today was another wonderful day of service, because it always is. Sometimes there are rough patches, but all in all, it always rewarding to help others. As we push forward with our route reestablishment, as well as the MLK FAMILY & FRIENDS PROGRAM. Each week we are finding better ways to be more efficient, expeditious, and effective. As we continue to deliver backpacks too, we are also enrolling more people, who are showing interest, iti our MLK F&F PROGRAM. In addition to everything, the one thing we noticed was that there were more people than last week, and that’s both not surprising, and somewhat alarming. Especially, since it’s the very beginning portion of the month, we wonder how long resources are gonna last for our friends on an individual basis. So we will certainly be paying attention to the trends, both numerically and demographically.
With that, we will be out this coming Saturday running our mobile SACK LUNCH PROGRAM and all that comes with it, di we will see y’all then! So in the meantime, we hope you have a good week. Stay positive, stay kind, and stay safe!! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!! https://www.facebook.com/MLKHumanityProject/ Today was all about HOPE! We had a very successful day of service in the community. The backpack distribution went very smoothly, for the most part. We are seeing a growing interest in the project from the new friends we are making, and it’s helping us to really get the “process” down. By that, we want to become as seamless as possible in the ways we deliver our services, efficiently and expeditiously on steroids! (Metaphorically speaking!) Anyway, it’s too soon to really say how the MLK FAMILY & FRIENDS PROGRAM will proceed, until we have a very good idea as to what the numbers will be, on a consistent basis. We are big on keeping our word, and part of jetting you’re word is going what you say you can, when you say you will. So we try not to start what we can’t responsibly or reasonably sustain. With that, we are certainly committed to sharing the latest, when the time comes. We will be out next this coming Tuesday, and til then please do your best to be your best! Peace!!
