This organization provides access to a safe space for the downtrodden of society, and a diverse array of services including, but not limited to, Youth Nights, Early Childhood Education, Young Adult Mentorship, Open Gyms, Martial Arts and Music instruction, Feeding Programs, Internships, Mobile Markets, Food Pantry and Clothing services, and Worship services within their Chapel. As a legislator, I can push for legislation that combats food waste and puts said food in the hands of this organization, the distribution of which can be executed in public events. This will bring job opportunities to for nutritionists and commercial drivers, as well as volunteer hours for students in the form of serving and repackaging goods. 

What I desire to do right now is partner with Transportation Services to not only bring people in this district to the shelter in East St Louis, but to give homeless people and lower income households access to these goods even if their location and situations restrict their ability to travel. That, I can do without changing the laws. I will advocate on behalf of this organization, volunteer with them, and speak to leaders of the community and the state, as well as other nonprofit and charity organizations. In doing so, I will assure that the people of this community have resources to help them through their struggle. The fact that you're reading this gives me the motivation to get this done. Thank you for your time.
