Yesterday was a day filled with compassion, generosity, and community spirit as we joined hands with Afrikicks and the Hollywood and African Prestigious Awards to host the 10k Meals Across LA Food Drive. We embarked on a mission to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate, and we have some heartwarming pictures to share from our memorable day of service.
Serving Hope in Skid Row
In the heart of downtown Los Angeles, amidst the bustling city streets, we found ourselves in Skid Row, an area with a significant homeless population. With smiles on our faces and a heart full of love, we served hot, nourishing meals to those who needed it most. The gratitude and appreciation in the eyes of the people we served warmed our hearts and served as a reminder of the power of coming together to support our community.
A Shoutout to our Incredible Volunteers
None of this would have been possible without the incredible volunteers who selflessly dedicated their time and energy to serve the community. Your dedication and commitment are truly commendable, and we are grateful for your presence. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of those who needed it the most.
Special Thanks to Afrikicks and HAPAwards
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Oumar Idrissa of Afrikicks and Tina Weisinger of HAPAwards for making this event a reality. Your dedication to making the world a better place is an inspiration to us all. Together, we were able to reach out to those in need and provide them with essential support.
Capturing the Moments of Love and Giving
Before we conclude, we’d like to remind everyone to credit Dumisani Maraire Jr. of Love Heals The World for capturing the beautiful moments during our food drive. Dumisani’s photography has beautifully documented our day of service, preserving the memories that we will cherish forever.
About Afrikicks
Afrikicks is an organization that has been making a difference since 2014 by collecting and donating shoes to those affected by extreme poverty in Niger, West Africa. Their philosophy of “Ubuntu” emphasizes the universal bond of sharing and caring for one another, promoting individual and societal well-being. In addition to meals, Afrikicks also gave away brand new pairs of sneakers to those experiencing homelessness on Skid Row during the 10k Meals Across Los Angeles Food Drive.
In a world where kindness and compassion can sometimes feel in short supply, our day at Skid Row was a powerful reminder of the good that can be achieved when we come together. Let us continue to spread love, heal the world, and make a positive impact in our community.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.
