Opening of the Convention Center For Unsheltered During Covid

We are so proud of our Advocacy Director John Brady who played an integral role in facilitating the opening of the Convention Center as an emergency shelter during the pandemic.

We are excited to be working closely with Mayor Kevin Faulconer, County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, The Regional Task Force, The Housing Federation, Alpha Project, and various agencies who are aligning like never before to insure the safety and well-being of our unsheltered citizens.

Here is John inside the Convention Center, as the Alpha Project begins to move hundreds of their clients into their new temporary home where they will be able to practice social distancing and connect to resources, housing navigation, and more.

Nutritious Meal Kits Delivered To Vulnerable During COVID-19

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus VOICES has been making nutritious meal kits, and delivering them directly to the apartments of our elderly and most vulnerable members. It's Voices Flavors of Love!

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, our team, led by Stephen, has delivered over 525 healthy meals for our most food-insecure choir members.

Thank you to all the community members and sponsors who have rolled up their sleeves in this effort!

We especially want to recognize Michelle Grangetto from 5th Axis Workholding for her meals; you can tell they are made with love. Everything from chicken and sweet tamales to her infamous banana bread. Heather Nation, Elisa Lurkis, Susie Snyder, and Glen Volk have also all been such amazing contributors to this effort.

We want to encourage you to join us in feeding our unsheltered neighbors! If you would like to make a dish, please reach out, or you can make a tax-deductible donation towards our ongoing Flavors of Love food program. Every dollar helps us more than you know.

Stand By Me

Deforest Hancock, or as we call her Deedee, is a woman whose spirit is a grounding force of nature. Deedee empowers all of us at Voices with her soothing voice when she sings “Stand by Me.” She is an excellent communicator, bringing stability and strength to our organization. We are so grateful to have Deedee as a choir member of Voices of Our City!

“What I love most about myself is that I’m a woman of faith, I believe in myself. I believe in my purpose, which is to inspire others to unite and bring about prosperity and unity for all. We can do it together,” said Deedee.
