A HUGE THANK YOU to every organization, business, donor, and volunteer who showed up for our Gary Aftermath Disaster Community Relief! 💚🩷

What started as a need in our community quickly became a beautiful example of what can happen when people come together with one purpose—to HELP. From donating essential and perishable items, giving financially, helping organize, carrying boxes, packing items, and serving our neighbors, every single person played a part.

To our sponsors and community partners, thank you for answering the call and stepping up when Gary needed you. To our volunteers, thank you for giving your time, energy, and helping hands. We could not have served our community without you!

This is what community looks like. ❤️

Together we restore. Together we rise.

With love and gratitude,
Sojourner Truth House 💚

A HUGE thank you to these two amazing young ladies who drove all the way from Battle Creek, Michigan to lend a helping hand! 💜

They saw what was happening in our community, felt that something needed to be done—and done FAST—and they answered the call.

We are so grateful that they chose Sojourner Truth House as a place to pour their love and support into. Your kindness, compassion, and willingness to travel miles to help a community in need does not go unnoticed.

Thank you for showing up for STH and the Northwest Indiana community! 💜🙏🏾

This truly means more than words can express. 💙 During a time when so many in our community were hurting, uncertain, and simply trying to make it through each day, this support was a reminder that Gary was not forgotten.

Thank you to the Looking Out Foundation and everyone whose donations made this generous gift possible. Your support allows Sojourner Truth House to continue showing up for our community, not only during a crisis, but long after the lights come back on.

The storm may have passed and the power has been restored, but recovery does not happen overnight. We are incredibly grateful for those who continue to see the need, stand with Gary, and help us continue our mission of serving those who need us most.

From all of us at Sojourner Truth House, thank you for looking out for Gary and believing in the work we do. ❤️

On August 11th, Northwest Indiana was struck by a major storm. Gary, Indiana, a majority-Black city was left without power for over 2 weeks. With power finally restored this past Tuesday, the community is still in urgent need of recovery and support. This blackout resulted in numerous fatalities, closed schools, and brought a whole community to a standstill without any real assistance. So, local organizations like Sojourner Truth House stepped up to take care of their own.

Sojourner Truth House is a Black-led organization that operates not only as one of the largest food pantries in the county, but also as a day center for women and families facing housing insecurity. They offer social and emotional support, transportation to appointments, laundry services, health clinics, and more. This well rounded support continues until clients are back on their feet and in permanent homes, building resilience that helps all of Gary to become stronger.

Looking Out Foundation was honored to grant $10,000 in urgent response funds to this incredible organization. Your donations made that support possible. When you give to LOF, you are helping us to be proactive and able to respond in real time to where the greatest need arises- Thank you!

The lights are back on in Gary, but we will not look away and are asking you all to continue to give this community your attention and support.

What is Sojourner Truth House doing, you ask? SERVING!!!! 💗

Despite today’s times and the things that are currently affecting our communities, we are still showing up. We are continuing to serve, support, encourage, and be a helping hand to those who need us most.

Challenges may come, circumstances may change, and resources may be stretched, but our commitment to the community remains strong. The work doesn’t stop—and neither do we.

Every day is another opportunity to make a difference, meet a need, offer hope, and remind someone that they are not alone.

At Sojourner Truth House, service is more than what we do—it’s at the heart of who we are.

💙 STILL STANDING. STILL SERVING. STILL SOJOURNER TRUTH HOUSE. 💙

Even while being affected by the recent storm ourselves, Sojourner Truth House never stopped serving our community.

The storm may have created unexpected challenges, but the needs of those we serve did not stop—and neither did we. Our team continued to show up, support families, provide resources, and do what we could to make sure our community knew they were not alone.

We are incredibly proud of our staff and everyone who continued to serve despite facing challenges of their own. When there is a need, we will continue to find a way to serve. That is what community is all about—showing up for one another, especially during difficult times.

To our community, we encourage you to keep going. Storms may disrupt our plans, but they do not have to stop our purpose. Together, we can recover, rebuild, and continue moving forward. 💙
