There are many great philanthropic organizations around Newark that spend value time and effort giving back to the community. During my time in Newark, I have met inspirational people who just love to help others. It’s their passion. I can’t really think of a more selfless act in the contribution toward the betterment of humanity. There are a lot of people out there hurting and in need, but there are also lots of people out there who care, and are working tirelessly to make a difference.
Every year this family works tirelessly during the holiday season to provide fun and warm clothes to the homeless. This past Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to spend the day with them. Despite the weather had smiles of their faces the entire time. The mother of the family of four stated: “It goes far beyond us. We are hear to spread the good news. To worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by helping others..”
Prepared on their own, this family prepares hot dinners to serve more than two hundred individuals in need.
