My Nonprofit Reviews

The Halle Q Brown food shelf has been housed in the lower level of the church that I attend for as long as I can remember. During my last tenure on the church council the executive board challenged the council to promote stronger ties between the church and the food shelf. We wanted to become more than a landlord and wanted HQB to feel like more than renters to the congregation. I decided to take up this challenge and have been working closely with their development coordinator, Josh. Josh is doing a great job with grass roots organizing, networking, and changing the expectations of the people served by the food shelf. He has focused on making sure that food shelf users are treated with respect and dignity and given not only help with physical needs, but also help with cooking and serving healthy foods that can be made with easily acquired ingredients. The experience has been very rewarding for me and has brought me closer to the community in which I worship and work.
