Hire Ground Crew Shoveling Our Streets

In My Father’s Kitchen

Our Hire Ground program, in partnership with Onondaga County and City of Syracuse, is out on the streets of Syracuse in the middle of this snowstorm—clearing sidewalks, serving our community, and restoring dignity through purposeful work.

This is what a hand up, not a handout looks like.

Every shovelful brings value not only to our city but to the men and women who join us each day. Through Hire Ground, participants get more than a job for a few hours—they get:

  • A safe place to belong
  • Case management and connection to needed services
  • A break from the struggles of the day
  • The dignity of earning compensation for their work

Huge gratitude to Kevin, George, and Kat, our incredible Hire Ground team members who facilitate the workdays, empower our participants, and walk with them through case management. They bring hope, structure, and encouragement to every workday.

Thank you to every supporter who makes this possible. Together, we’re beautifying our city, restoring dignity, and offering hope in the middle of brokenness.

Thank You,

John and Leigh Ann
