What is the Homeless Hero Award?

This award is presented to individuals or companies that go above and beyond the call of duty in extending a hand into our community. Who is our community, all those who feel Invisible on the streets of Central New York, those who are experiencing homelessness! Jimmer Owner of two local Chick-Fil-A in Syracuse is just that Hero.

Street medicine initiatives, like Syracuse’s House Calls for the Homeless, are popping up across the country. Join us as we talk with five community members whose mission is to provide care for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

What a great Morning encouraging the class in being engaged with your community through service. Showing how Relationship Building Minimizes Risk with the population you are trying to serve!
Thank you John Tumino of In My Father’s Kitchen for fanning the flames within the LGS Class of 2022 so that they can get the fire roaring. Thank you for sharing the story behind the cardboard sign and the coalition in Syracuse working tirelessly to help the people in our community.

We received a message in the early part of February that the Character Club of Tully Elementary School selected us as an organization to collect items for. We sent the students the list of items and over the next two months, they collected everything on our list. We were able to go down and share with over 100 5th and 6th graders about the work we do at IMFK. At the end of the session we opened it up for questions and boy did we get questions. Student after student would raise their hands and ask the most profound questions. There were so many more students that had their hands raised but we didn’t have the time to respond. So we decided that the Character Club was going to field the rest of the questions and email them to us at IMFK for the responses. We love sharing with young people about the issue of homelessness, we believe that we are inspiring the next generation of thinkers! We believe planting seeds of concerns regarding homelessness into the consciousness of the younger generation will cause fruit in the future for servants that will make a bigger difference in the lives of those who feel invisible. At the end of our time, we were presented with all they had collected. Way to go Kids, a Child Shall Lead Them.
