Homeless Outreach with Afropunk & Care More.
today, i got the opportunity to meet some pretty cool people by volunteering with an incredible non-profit organization by the name of Care More. Care More was founded last year by then 23 year old Mercedes Smith. Mercedes has been going around to the homeless in cities like NYC and Philly with the goal of making them feel more human by acknowledging their existence, talking and providing them with words of encouragement and giving them care packages that she’s made. the experiences from today reaffirm that we have to start caring less about ourselves and more for each other & the greater good of our society. it’s really not a hard thing to do…in the near future, Care More will be expanding to cities like Atlanta and Washington, D.C. i look forward to helping out again and i encourage everyone to do the same!!
