<div>My name is Jamell “Mr. Taste Budz” Paxton, and I’ve spent years investing in my South Central Los Angeles community — not just through good food at Mr. Taste Budz, but by creating a safe space for our youth to learn, grow, and stay off the streets.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Mr. Taste Budz World Rec Center was built from love, dedication, and a dream to give kids and families a place they can call home. A place where they can play ball, create art, learn new skills, and most importantly — feel safe.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>But right now, our community center is in danger of being shut down.</strong>

</div>

<div>We’ve been doing everything we can to keep the lights on — hosting events, fundraisers, and giving back every weekend — but the cost of equipment, maintenance, and community programs has grown beyond what we can handle alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m asking for your help to keep our doors open.

</div>

<div><strong>Every dollar will go toward keeping this space alive — for the kids who show up after school to stay out of trouble, for the single parents who just need a positive place for their children, and for the people who believe that change starts right here in our own neighborhood.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This center isn’t just a building.

</div>

<div>It’s hope.

</div>

<div>It’s unity.

</div>

<div>It’s our community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please consider donating — even a small amount makes a difference. Let’s show the world that South Central takes care of its own.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>❤️ Thank you for believing in us and helping save the Mr. Taste Budz World Rec Center.
