3 city community service project

Donation protected

I am a one man show that has a full time job in the non-profit sector, par-time job and run a small business that rents out photo booths to individuals and companies for events, celebrations and parties. We offer significant discount through our volunteer opportunities. Our mission is to help people and communities connect and embrace intentional happiness, a genuine feeling brought by change in the norm and assisting others.  We do this though our service projects.

After witnessing my friends lose loved ones unexpectedly  I realized that we are not promised tomorrow.  I have always wanted to help others but, like most I told myself when I’m financially “stable” I can do that or when I’m “ready”. However, all the good intentions in the world are all for not if we are not here to make them possible or express them. So I decided not to wait anymore! The way I see it, I’m very blessed by having the opportunity to work 2 jobs, being physically healthy, and having family near me. We are always going to want more and that’s ok but, let’s not forget to help others along the way, while we can.

This year I am launching a “3 City Community Service Project” Where we’re serving 3 major cities including, Washington DC, Brooklyn, New York and Baltimore, MD.

As you may know, there too many good people are going hungry and in need of emotional support all over the place. This is where I am hoping we can collaborate and help out. The plan is to partner with organizations or shelters in 3 cities on the east coast. I am looking to feed and offer positive entertainment for 100 people per city or 300 people in total. During the 3 hour long day event volunteers will prepare lunch bags made up of a sandwich, bag of chips, fruit, and bottled water. The event is meant to be engaging and entertaining as well. The volunteers and I will also be bringing art supplies, games and the photo booth for everyone to use and play with. From my time working with people, I have found that sometimes you just need a distraction or someone to talk with. This is something we are hoping can also happen while we are enjoy the times with folks in multiple cities.

I am asking for support to purchase food and supplies. The total goal is $1300.00. The locations have been identified and the event dates are also booked along with the volunteers for each city.

Washington, DC: October 1, 2016 - 12pm to 3pm
Brooklyn, NY: October 15, 2016 - 12pm to 3pm
Baltimore, MD: October 22, 2016 - 12pm to 3pm

Thank you for your time!
