Introducing LIFE Community Project’s Not Just A Food Program

LIFE Community Project is proud to announce the launch of Not Just A Food Program, a new initiative aimed at providing personalized support to those facing hardship. Unlike traditional programs that involve waiting in long lines, our goal is to create one-on-one partnerships, addressing not just hunger but the unique needs of each individual we serve.

Building Caring Partnerships

This program goes beyond providing food and necessities. By fostering a relationship between each individual and a LIFE Community Partner (LCP), we aim to bring a personal touch that shows care and compassion. The LCP will maintain weekly contact, either in person or through messaging, to ensure that meals and necessary hygiene products are delivered or picked up on time. Each person is seen, heard, and treated with dignity—no one is just another face in a long line.

One Person at a Time

We recognize that we can't help everyone, so our approach is to build this program one person at a time. Each LCP will work with only a few individuals, ensuring meaningful connections and tailored support. This also allows us to cater to specific needs, including addressing allergies and sensitivities in personal hygiene products. Through thoughtful planning and communication, we aim to eliminate waste by using refillable containers and embracing a Zero Waste approach.

A Pathway to Additional Support

As the relationship with an individual deepens, LCPs will expand the support offered. LIFE Community Project will leverage its other initiatives like LIFE Clothing and LIFE Necessities to provide needed resources. We’re also working toward long-term goals, such as growing vegetables year-round to support nutritional needs and enhance overall health through our FIFE (Food Is For Everyone) programs.

How You Can Help

We are beginning our funding campaigns to gather resources for this program and are actively seeking volunteers to become LIFE Community Partners. Each LCP will work with just a few individuals, ensuring that the support is personal and impactful. If you're interested in joining this effort, please contact John E. Walker.

LCPs can meet with individuals on the street or provide online support, with a vetting process in place to reduce misuse of our resources. We will have both in-person and online volunteer opportunities, so there’s a way for everyone to get involved, whether you want to meet individuals face-to-face or help from the comfort of your home.

Let’s build something meaningful together—because Love Is For Everyone!
