Success at the B'more Healthy Expo

I am pleased to report that last Saturday we had a very successful day at the "B'more Healthy Expo". With our staff of volunteers we were able to get set up in time for all of the activities that took place and met so many wonderful people.  We talked with the Boys Scouts of America who advised us that they would be in contact with us about our "Adopt-a-School" program where an organization can adopt a school within their area and provide food to the homeless population based on our program.
This means that after a short period of time learning how we prepare the backpacks and the food that is placed therein, along with introducing the organization to the schools, they can start their own program.  This allows us to get food to other areas that are not being serviced.  We met with a Financial Adviser who wants to get his company involved in the program, thus getting us additional funding to further the program.

We met with so many people that want to be a part of this program and have  learned so much from our interactions with others that we are so pleased that we had this opportunity to spread the word far and wide as the need is great in our State.

We have been introduced to others who are now actively assisting us in getting further training about how to proceed our program in the future, which means that we will be able to assist others.  One of the things that I have learned during the time that we have been providing food for the homeless children of this city is that people want to help and will help when called upon.  I have seen poor people make contributions of $1 and $5 and do it with a smile on their face which encourages us to continue this program.

Our personal thanks to Dottie Campbell, Edwin Hopkins and John Shaia our volunteers for the day and for their assistance to make the exposition time at the Convention Center in Baltimore a great day.

B'more Healthy Expo - come and visit us

Next Saturday, March 19, 2016, from 10 am to 5 pm we will have a booth at the "B'more Healthy Expo" at the Convention Center in Baltimore City.  Our listing will be Heart's Place Services, Inc., and we will be in the Family Court.

Come on down and let us hear your thoughts about childhood hunger and let us tell you about our exciting new plan to make sure no homeless child goes hungry over the weekends through our "Adopt a school" program.  Any church, and Baltimore City has many, many churches can adopt any one of the public schools to provide these homeless children with food each weekend for themselves and their family.  Our weekend backpacks, or survival kits are made in such a manner as to feed the entire family over the weekend where no refrigeration or heating is available.  We also make sure that the family gets tooth brushes and paste, along with a few goodies just the make the weekend a little better.

Come and sign our petition to the Governor requesting additional funding for this program and to insure that all homeless children eat over the weekend.  Write a note to one of the many children we service and show them that people do care.  Pick up some of our literature and sign our form to sign up your church to "Adopt a school" program.  We are a small group of people who really care for all of the homeless children in this city and we don't ever want to see a homeless child ever go hungry over the weekend.  We are not paid volunteers, but just want to make the city a little better for these families.  Thanks!!!!
