As the holiday season approaches, we’re delightedly getting into the spirit of giving back. As there’s nothing more empowering than being able to recognize disparities in our communities and being in a position to actively assist in eradicating them. As a result, Madison Gems and Hey There Beautiful Inc. collaborated to birth a charitable endeavor named We Feed NYC.

We Feed NYC is an undertaking motivated by feeding homeless residents in the New York City area, with sustenance, but not limited to provisions, empowerment, encouragement and upliftment. Our mission is to provide enrichment not only on holidays, but also sporadically throughout the year in an effort to nurture a sense of dependability.

Last week We Feed NYC hosted a Thanksgiving dinner / clothing drive in the Bushwick community of Brooklyn, NY, at a chic and versatile venue named The Living Gallery. Accordingly, Madison Gems and Hey There Beautiful Inc. energetically sought the assistance of sponsors, volunteers and donors to realize our vision. Thus, we received an outpour of support, as we utilized our social media platforms i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google+ to promote awareness of our venture.

Our wonderful and magnificent sponsors for We Feed NYC, were none other than Taylor Cares Inc., Memorable Memories Event Décor & Planning, B’Discovered Magazine, OMG! Sweet Jars By Beyond Sweets, Nathallia’s Catering & Events, Cakes & Sweet Treats by Erica, Jackson Designz, De L’or Cakery, Trinky Things, Coordinated To Perfection, EastGate Enterprises, Kaftans For Queens and The Rosedale Lion’s Club. Additionally, we were fortunate to have approximately 32 supporters, whom either prepared dishes, contributed beverages, made monetary donations, or gave their time. Likewise, we had a huge gathering of volunteers to serve our guests a magnificent Thanksgiving meal. Overall, our event was a huge success, as we were able to place joy and happiness on the hearts of our guests and volunteers.

Conclusively, giving back is immensely important. Therefore, no matter how busy we are, it is paramount that we set aside time for others. In view of that, they’re so many changes, that many of us would like to see transpire in our communities, however, no matter our circumstances, the most important asset we can give to our neighbors consistently is hope.
