Last week while doing street outreach I received a special order for Sloopy Joe’s. When we hear a request for a specific meal we listen intently knowing that a lunch can open a door for true change. So today we made these wonderful sandwiches and we are excited to bring them out to the streets to show our dear friend that we heared his request. Being heared is powerful, when living in homelessness there are times when providers tell you things that they think you may need when in fact you might not need that at all. We at IMFK listen to our friends and try to meet their immediate needs that they express to show them that we care. Once they trust us they allow us the opportunity to guide them into some better choices. In order to be a good listener one must first be silent, these two words use the same letters and if we but them in the proper order its amazing what starts to take place. People just need to be HEARD!

Believe with us that this lunch will show our friend that we were trulu Listening.
