WARNING Reality Of Drug Use On The Streets

🚨 Graphic Content Warning – Medical Images Below 🚨

We are so incredibly grateful for our amazing partners at Housecalls for the Homeless and Dr. Lehmann. 💙 Today, their medical team stepped in to help one of our friends experiencing a serious medical crisis.

The wound—caused by complications from intravenous drug use—had progressed to a dangerous state of infection and necrosis, where healing becomes nearly impossible without proper care. But thanks to the compassion and skill of Emily, a second-year medical student from Upstate Medical University, our friend received treatment with dignity, respect, and zero judgment. 🙌

This is what real care looks like. 💪 Thank you, Housecalls for the Homeless – Upstate, for walking alongside us in this mission. Your partnership saves lives. 🙏

📸 Swipe with caution – images may be graphic but tell the real story of need, compassion, and hope.

Bringing Hope in The Sideview Mirror

Every day, as we drive through town, we see individuals standing on street corners or wandering the streets, often holding cardboard signs. These moments can feel heavy or even uncomfortable as we wonder, “What can I do to help?” It’s a question many of us wrestle with, but through In My Father’s Kitchen (IMFK), there is an answer.

By connecting with IMFK, you’re becoming part of the solution. You’re turning those moments of uncertainty into action. Your support fuels our outreach efforts, allowing us to be the hands extended to our friends living outdoors. Through meals, resources, and a listening ear, we offer hope and build bridges of trust that change lives.

Every interaction matters. Every meal served, every conversation shared, and every step forward is possible because of you. When you choose to partner with us, you’re not just supporting an organization—you’re part of a movement of compassion and transformation. Together, we’re breaking through barriers of isolation and despair, reminding our friends on the streets that they are seen, valued, and loved.

You are making a difference. Your generosity drives hope and opens doors to brighter futures. It’s not just about giving; it’s about creating lasting impact in our community.

Let’s continue to build hope together. Join us as we extend kindness, one life at a time. Visit In My Father’s Kitchen today and be part of something bigger—because together, we’re changing lives.
