LEMM’s mission is to improve the quality of life, and the morale of individuals and families who may feel that there’s just no light in the darkness they face. More important, we want to prove that good things can happen when a community of people donate for a worthy cause. We want to make a difference on homeless issues that affect our cities. With that being stated, we aim to put the love of God into action, providing relief to, as much as possible, our homeless brothers and sisters. You are welcome to help us succeed. For donations and or support 👉🏽 (“Go here”). Compassion-in-Action!
Our stop gap crisis-intervention and outreach team most times are on the streets meeting the fundamental needs of the disadvantaged or homeless. The LEMM team covers various parts of the Metropolitan area, and or other counties. We believe that a lot of our homeless brothers and sisters will eventually receive affordable housing or shelter. However, due to the lack of permanent housing solutions or lack of mental health-care or something other, many of them resort to living in their cars, living in temporary shelters, on the streets or encampments.
Meantime, the LEMM provides a diversity of homeless services, including 👉🏽 “Washing their Feet” or washing their hair. What we do for them for the time being becomes a conduit for us to either initiate dialogue with them or become part of a necessary emergency service network. We hope that our stopgap initiatives will ultimately make a dent in decreasing homelessness. Visit our 👉🏽“Celebration” page for LEMM’s volunteers. Because without these willing vessels, the “Light” in the LEMM would be dim.
Stereotyping the homeless creates over generalized beliefs which causes one to ignore differences or needs. For instance, not all homeless people ask for money. Certainly, this gentleman in the photo did not. In fact he turned down our alms-giving. See more of the LEMM’s Mission on our “About Us” page.
