Working brings Value and Dignity to our friends who are usually Pan-Handling. There is nothing better than working for your keep and boy do our friends work. Our Crew was able to collect over 900 Gallons of trash through out our community in CNY. Kevin and Carolyn do such a great job encouraging our friends and letting them know they are not Invisible. During our work day Carolyn will do one on one assessments with our Friends. During these intimate moments Carolyn finds out the Story behind each card board sign. Everyone has a story and once trust is established the real story appears. The IMFK team will then strategies to figure out a plan for our friends were they can have a successful outcome to their broken stories. Every success story takes time but it all starts with unconditional Love, a kind word and little bit of Hard Work. When our friends know we have their back and best interest there is nothing that is impossible. Its all about a Hand Up not a Hand Out!

Today was a Hot 90 Degrees on the streets of Syracuse during Street Outreach. Dr. Lehmann was in demand with many of our friends asking for medical attention. Its such an awesome addition partnering with House Calls for the Homeless. We are not just feeding and clothing our friends, we are connecting them to providers who are Saving their LIVES! Compassion with a no strings approach is a huge key to our success in assisting our friends off the streets. Its Love shown to someone who feels Loveless, its Hope given to someone who feels Hopeless, its Help to someone when the feels Helpless. Is it easy, no is it worth it Absolutely. Your continued support of our mission enables us to be there time and time again for our friends. WE love our friends outdoors and no on is Invisible, CAN YOU SEE THEM? We DO!

Last week we received a Call from Morgan asking if there was a way she could get involved with IMFK? We shared with her that our friends love special treats and that if she wanted we could accept some baked goods to deliver to our them. Morgan was on board and delivered these wonderful packaged Cup Cakes made with Love! WE love it when our Sous Chefs go the extra mile for our friends. To be able to hand deliver these packages of Love is Priceless. On behalf of all our friends Morgan we say thank you !
