COMMUNITY RESOURCE DRIVE STEERS HOPE TO THOSE IN NEED

Image
"With every resource you help us provide, you're not only providing a meal or hygeine kit - you're providing hope." These were the impactful words of Charles, a Community Care Representative of Perfect Love Foundation speaking to an enthusiastic group of volunteers the morning of a Resource Packing party. These packing parties are not uncommon for the foundation and have become a signature event in which community resources are gathered, sorted, prepped and assembled for distribution. Afterwards, the items are distributed to various communities with citizens in need. Community is a word that resonates throughout the foundation, as its members will often describe the organization as just that - a community. The culture of the organization itself reminds its volunteers that Perfect Love is a community of individuals who: 1) love people,  2) understand that collectively we can make a difference, and 3) believe it is possible to build a better world by creat...

FROM HEARTBREAK TO HEARTBEAT

YOUR PARTNERSHIP MAKES A DIFFERENCE! I remember recently performing one of our Foundation’s routine meal distributions in downtown Atlanta. On this particular night, the sting of winter was fully felt with frosting temperatures below 20 degrees. And despite weather warnings, our volunteer team was determined to still perform the distribution and hand meals to homeless citizens that night. As we hurried to deliver the meals on the streets of Atlanta, in the distance, further than the crowd that had surrounded us to receive the meals, I saw a middle-aged woman perfectly placed on a low wall with several blankets from the neck down. Curious as to why she didn’t move to receive the food, I approached her asking if she would like a meal. What happened next literally hurt my heart. She looked at me and declined the meal saying give it to them. Confused about who she was referring to, she lifted the blanket urging two small children around the same age as my 6-year-old daughter to retr...

Helping Hearts Yield Hope Through Atlanta Hygiene Distribution

Hesitantly, he peered from a distance slowly making his way towards the table."May I have some of that biotic rub? You should see the blisters on my feet," the gentleman expressed as he approached Perfect Love volunteers to receive a men's hygiene kit. "You don't have to do that," replied the volunteer.  "Yes I do," stated the man with sincerity. "You need to see my feet and see what happens from walking all day." The man continued to sit and remove the worn combat boots covering his painful   blisters.   Mixed emotions resumed as several conversations similar to the one above were shared with Perfect Love volunteers. And although it was heartbreaking to hear these stories and many other first hand accounts of the harsh day-to-day realities of being homeless, hope emerged as Perfect Love distributed hundreds of hygienic items to homeless citizens in Atlanta.   Accompanied by the Foundation's' signature love not...
