I have the privilege to serve at "A Better Day Than Yesterday" as a volunteer in the Food Pantry and with the Life Skills training program, just two of the many programs and services they offer. "A Better Day Than Yesterday" is an organization that is making a difference in the lives of adults and children in some of our most vulnerable communities. I am grateful to be among the genuinely caring and committed professionals at "A Better Day Than Yesterday" who provide hope and encouragement along with the food, clothes, education, and other resources they provide. It warms my heart to see so many individuals come through the doors and leave better than when they came in, to hear their testimonies of how the services this organization provides are positively impacting their lives, and these individuals are spreading the good news!

I see hope. I have hope. I see it because of the people in this organization A Better Day Than Yesterday. With all the liaisons, opportunities, programs, teachings and most important guidance as we transition into becoming ourselves again. Thank God for institutions like this because without them, I assure you, more people will pass along. Being in an environment that is safe, clean and structured correctly truly makes a difference. There are 7 of us in the house at this time. Being the house lead I can speak for all of my friends here that without this program we would not be anywhere close as we are today in our recovery. God bless this program and may it continue to grow. The curriculum and participation levels that are in play help all continue relearning who we used to be. Rome wasn't made in 2 months my s and recovering from 38 years of using is the same. It takes time, being surrounded by people who care and legitimately want to help. Thank God for this opportunity to heal and grow.

I am a volunteer and I have witnessed firsthand the impact this organization is having on the community. People are showing up to put food on the table to feed their families. I see the glimmer of hope, smiles and excitement as their bags are filled. They also received handouts and other resources on how to stay well. This organization is making a difference in the community by aiding in helping people put food on the table!

A better day than yesterday has been so beneficial for my whole family. My daughter participated in Straight talk 4 girls mentoring program. It gave her opportunities to do learn lots about self care, entrepreneurship, and new activities. My elderly mother enjoys the fellowship at the food pantry. It really helps her with food while being on a fixed income. I love how active a better day than yesterday is in the community and really cares about helping the community.

I have come to know A Better Day Than Yesterday over the past year, primarily through Founder & President LeTeisha Gordon, and Outreach Coordinator Thomas Mundy. It's been a blessing for me getting to know Teisha and Tom, and why they do what they do day in and day out. And it's been an inspiration watching firsthand their tireless work to support so many who have been impacted by the criminal legal system, while also breaking the cycle of inter-generational incarceration in our community. We're blessed to have A Better Day Than Yesterday meeting basic needs and leading foundational healing in our community.

The Support that Better Day gives is remarkable. The lives they touch are across the board from youth to seniors. They have youth activities. They support College Freshmen with items needed to start the next Chapter of life. They see that our Senior Citizens have food and clothes. I can not leave out the support to our community members that need resources for help with substance usage. They are a great Resource to the Community.

Leteisha Gordon and her organization had been a huge blessing to me and my family!! She helped me thru addiction with her peer support and resources, helped my son with teen activities and allowing us to help her with outreach in the community which has shown my son the importance of giving back also helped me by allowing me to give back !! I am so extremely grateful to have miss Gordon in my life, in my network and part of my story!! Thank you Leteisha!! Forever grateful!!
