Trailer Alert – Mobile Makeovers Pt II

11 months ago, we launched our first Mobile Makeovers Bus and converted it into a Barbershop/Closet/Hygiene Station to serve those who live on the margins.

6 months into it, we made over 500+ homeless people in the city and referred over 1000 people to further services. Last August, we got a chance to pitch our shower trailer concept at Plywood People’s Plywood Presents and won the competition to start phase two of Mobile Makeovers!

Today, we are proud to announce we’ve finally secured our trailer and will begin our conversion process for the LBW Mobile Makeover Shower Trailer! Celebrate with us! ‪

Amazing First Art Show – Dignity Art!

Last night was amazing! We had two of the four artist present, over 50 pieces of art, 80+ people in attendance, and over 50 pieces of art auctioned. Additionally, we had a few sponsors present like TreadStone Valuations, Cozzee Coffee, Reveal Magazine, and a powerful spoken word artist (Subject to Change).

It was an amazing experience. Below are a few photos from the event!10383570_933857876651378_5438921309282195327_n12106998_933914449979054_4087926244591816805_n12074794_934072826629883_3251670561494009926_n

Over 300 – Mobile Makeovers!

Yesterday, we got a chance to make it well over 300 makeovers! We had a young barber named Brittney come and volunteer her services to provide makeovers on the spot in Clayton County.

We met so many wonderful people while out serving! One man named JC was so gracious and encouraging… His words were very touching as he talked and shared his gratitude about life… He sat in the barber’s chair and talked about how God was taking care of him through those that served (in the midst of his hard times).

No. He wasn’t implying that he was a dependent person…

He was simply saying “even when I do not have anything, God finds a way to meet my needs…I couldn’t make it to church but the church came to me…”

He asked us to snap his before and after picture and share it with people to let folks know that he is a human being (although homeless), and he is grateful for those who give their time to uplift those who are oppressed and forgotten. After meeting JC, we connected him to further resources. Below are his pictures!

Shop With A Purpose!

We now have a cool way to support our work in the community! We’ve been added to both Kroger & Amazon Community Rewards program.

Therefore, when you shop (if you select us) both of these companies will donate proceeds of what you’ve spent to our organization. How cool is that? Very cool.
