Hey friends and family, near & far! The Taylor family is doing something extra special this October! We have been nominated to be Food Fighters for The Hub: Urban Ministries here in Shreveport, LA. If you aren't familiar with The Hub & what all amazing things they do for our community, I would like to take a minute and tell you a little about that first.
The Hub's main mission is to give EVERYONE in our city access to a restored life. They do this through two main programs - The Lovewell & Purchased: Not for Sale.
The Lovewell Center is a membership based resource center that gives members the opportunity to earn the physical resources they need by attending classes and programs designed to help them move out of poverty and homelessness and into a restored life. Earned credits can be used in The Lovewell stores: The Dresswell clothing store, The Smellwell laundromat, The Eatwell food store and The Stylewell hair salon.
Purchased is a program focused on helping women & children out of sex-trafficking & the sex industry.
One common denominator in both of these programs is FOOD. If you ask most of their members today how they first heard of The Hub or why they came to The Hub for the first time, it was for Food. For a free meal. A lot of us never have to worry about where our next meal will come from, but there are so many in our local community that do. And The Hub is striving to continue to feed everyone that comes to their doors and never wants to tell anyone - "Sorry, we're out of food".
Besides getting donations all year long from business partners and local donations, once a year The Hub has "The Great Food Fight" which is a friendly competition where individuals (Food Fighters) will spend the month of October competing against one another to raise the most money within their circle of influence. That's where WE need YOUR help friends!
Would you please consider donating towards this cause this month to help keep the shelves stocked at the Lovewell all year long?
No donation is too small!
Our 1st goal is to raise $2500 this month! $2500 will provide 609 meals.
Please join us in this Food Fight for good!
-- Much love, The Taylors
