Brenda Smith and her FEELING IN MOTION!.They have been feeding the homeless the miss fortune and people that are in need of food and etc. Feeding in Motion is a Great Non-prophet organization
I used to see Brenda Smith (founder of Feeding In Motion) at Newport Pier with her little hand cart loaded up with meals she'd cooked herself for anyone who was hungry, and I was often one of them. She didn't pigeonhole anyone or treat them differently according to what category or demographic they fell into. She just wanted to feed people that needed it. She made no demands upon anyone for I.D. or proof of poverty, required no paperwork, didn't ask why they were hungry or judge them in any way. She had a very positive outlook and a great, big beautiful laugh. It always made me smile to see her.
She wanted to do more, and reach more people, and in time she got a car and began going farther out into the world and feeding more people. I'm really happy to say that she's still the same person, and although Feeding In Motion is bigger and reaches more people than ever, her compassionate spirit and positive attitude guide the organization and keep it on the right course. Like her, FIM is as no-nonsense as it gets. It's just about feeding hungry people and sparing them from all the hoops that bureaucracies make people jump through.
God bless Brenda and Feeding In Motion.
I have been extremely moved and fortunate to know Brenda in this agency who always provides a helping hand to individuals in need.
Feeding In Motion is a Mobile Food Service, which has served Orange County as well as communities in the surrounding areas since 2010. Feeding In Motion's current goal is to solve 3 main challenges.
1. We specialize in reducing the abundance of surplus food stored in places such as soup kitchens, food shelves, restaurants, and various community resource organizations. Often times food is wasted due to limited space and storage capacity for the food. We receive on-demand calls to pick up and distribute food to needy families in the communities.
2. We supply food to individuals, families, & seniors who are unable to meet monthly expenses. Feeding In Motion helps many families supplement their finances by providing food support to meet the needs of our clients.
3. We provide mobile food drop off service, to centralized locations as well as the front doors of many of our clients. Most importantly our service to seniors help reduce concerns during these unprecedented times of the current pandemic COVID 19.
