Our debut initiative, PB&LIGHT, is an effort to directly provide faith, food, and hygiene products to unsheltered men and women in Philadelphia and surrounding areas.

💡Sometimes we think to help someone means to provide the full result and if we can’t, we tend to think the help we can give is less significant, worthless, or pointless. If someone needs an apple and you can provide a seed... it’s still a help that will grow closer to the full result that someone needs. If you find it in your heart to help someone... do it! You never know how impactful your help (no matter how big or small) can be in providing the step to boost someone up! Love, your neighbor. Stay encouraged! 💚

💡I saw this sign and laughed but then I got to thinking... “are we this distracted” that we need a sign to tell us to look up? ...and if we’re looking down will we even see the sign in the first place?
_
💡Sometimes there are signs or hints placed in our paths to guide and nudge us in the right direction, to stay in the direction we are headed, to push harder or at times warn us or slow down our fast track. But if we are looking down, at our phones-our faults, our obstacles, perceived limitations, the guy or girl we used to be, all the things that could of, all the things that should of (endless possibilities)... we might just miss it!
_
💡Looking down effects our posture and we begin to live in that lowly position and don’t realize how blinded we’re becoming or the box we are creating around ourselves. But... when we look up and take the focus off of the things that distract and pull us down (although sometimes significant)-we tend to stand taller, our shoulders get broader, our confidence rises, we think clearer. When we adjust our posture we maneuver better because we can see better. What was once important or dragging us down then becomes an easier task to manage. And because we are focused on what’s ahead and standing tall: the giants in our lives get smaller and easier to beat.

💡Don’t miss your path... it’s there; look up! “I lift up my eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help” (Psalm 121:1). Stay encouraged! Thanks for reading. Love, your neighbor! 💚

💡LMN LIGHT presents PB&JAM - a cookout open to the public but geared toward easing the burdens of our neighbors experiencing homelessness! We will be offering food, clothing closet, support services including access mailboxes, in a light atmosphere of fun and inspirational/ faith based music.
_
💡The past several months have been a whirlwind for all of us and extremely tough on the homeless population. As summer comes to a close, we want to help our neighbors step into this new season! Your support is appreciated and essential. With love, your neighbor! 💚

Evictions have been ordered for this camp on the Ben Franklin Parkway and 2 other located at Azalea Gardens by the Art Museum and another on Ridge Avenue by the Phila. Housing Authority. Extend your prayers and/or support! 💚

💡“You can’t stay here but you can’t stay there either” - Where are the people expected to go city? If they’re forced to leave the Parkway, it’s inevitable that another camp will immediately be created somewhere else that will be disliked, reported, deemed “a nuisance”, and cleared again; continuing the cycle of band-aiding the problem which is (at times) just as costly as getting people into housing and/or safe alternatives.
_
💡The article mentions numerous complaints of waste, trash, and needles came in from occupants of surrounding “high priced” condos and apartments in the area (understandable); but what about the “high priced” lives in the area without a place to call home nor a place to even rest at night who have none or limited options or refuge? All the whys, shouldas, and couldas don’t matter; people are suffering and in need (period)

💡If a solution is not yet tangible, let them stay until one is; instead of shuffling people around who have no where to go and trying their best to survive-whatever the reason is that brought them there. The very least that could be done is designate a safe space with access to water, bathrooms, food, blankets, a day plan, and wellness/social services, as a solution is created to clear the encampments the right way... transitioning people from the street to safe and supportive replacement. (I can think of several.) If the city can scrounge up millions to make “hostile seating” to deter sleeping and gathering in parks, some more millions can be put where it counts to address the real problem; getting thousands off the street.
_
💡Winter is coming and it’s already getting chilly at night. Extend your prayer for our neighbors experiencing homelessness and also for the overseers and decision makers. Our Savior sits high and looks low and no matter who says what, he has the final say!

💡Leave a 💚 if you made it to the end🥇- (lol). Stay encouraged, keep your faith - Love, your neighbor! 💚

💡Snatching bread since March 2020 😂 During recent months, bread has been the hardest to get outside of sanitizing wipes. I was told once, “anybody can say they’re from an organization to do this”.
_
💡Although I completely understood the rules and planned to follow them... I was surely thinking, “but who’s going to pretend to be from an organization to buy 20 loaves of bread, on a Sunday morning, with their LMNL shirt on, and docs to prove it”? Then I thought some more and said, “Well...”! ...and we both laughed. lol!
_
💡Shouts to all the managers that bypassed the limits allowing us to keep it moving. The end. Enjoy your day! 💚

💡Where you can help, help; where you can’t help, pray. 💚

💡What’s up with all the PB& over here? 💭 PB&Light is our debut street outreach initiative to offer food and hygiene products to men and women experiencing homelessness and hunger; using peanut butter! We have distributed over 600 “LIGHT Bags” to our neighbors in need in the Philadelphia area.
_
💡Each LIGHT Bag offers more than PB&J but it is definitely the headliner allowing us to serve so many of our neighbors in need; as it is cost effective. The classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a great source of antioxidants and vitamins needed for bone, heart, immune, and neuro-health; while also lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and raising energy. PB&J does not require refrigeration and can sustain for several days or more.
_
💡Thank you to all who have contributed through social media, donations, and/or volunteer-ship. Our neighbors need us... Our light shines bright - Love, your neighbor! 💚 Thanks for reading. (Like, comment, share)
