DONATE!!!: THE GOOD NEWS COMMUNITY KITCHEN


First and foremost I want to think Mercedes for allowing me to use her organization to be the vessel where I can give back. I've always wanted to have an organization to be able to help my community but it just hasn't come into fruition. Maybe because I'm not ready or it's just not my path but it doesn't stop me from sowing my seeds of helping, right?! When I got reacquainted with Mercedes I was affected by her tenacity and drive when it came to making a difference. Seeing how she's made a difference and a positive influence with her community and the people around her really gave me inspiration.


Mercedes Kirland-Doyle is the Founder/Chief Executive of The Good News Community Kitchen. Their mission is to rebuild and strengthen communities by fighting hunger one meal at a time; and their vision is to unite Game Changers to be the change we all want to see, by providing a basic need, workforce development and exposure to future leaders,adding value to the lives of others.

So let's be a village and support our community and this beautiful black woman's purpose by giving selflessly to the cause.
