Doing what my parents would want me to do!
BELLINGHAM- it’s tomorrow and what better way to honor than cook some food for anyone in need and or or wants a meal 🫰
will be posted up across the street from Jack in the Box off Northwest Ave and BAKERVIEW behind the BioLife. Serving till I run out of FOOD or Traeger Grills pellets whatever comes first! Look for that bright orange set up!
I appreciate everyone’s support over the last 48 craziest hours of my life- but let’s create even more memorable memories by doing what my parents were best at; cooking food and sharing hospitality!
Come say hi; or grab a bite! 12PM TO I RUN OUT.
Much love, whizzz.

We were just contacted by a gentleman who is planning a cookout tomorrow. He is looking for a public location to set up. He wants to feed the honeless and ANYONE who comes by. He needs a location with a generator or power for 2 110v grills. His dad just passed and he wants to do this in honor of him. If you have ideas of a good public location he can set up at please, let us know.

Also, remember that H.O.P.E. From The Shadows will be back at Jack in the Box on Bakerview doing their cookout tomorrow as well. Stop by, meet the crew and show them your support.

Tonight at 6 HOPE FROM The shadows will be out doing a feed at Jack in the Box on Bakerview... go see them or take any donations you may have to them. They will welcome you and any donations with open arms.

Still want to give a huge shoutout to Layla Boyd and her friend Sarah who are still working diligently to do the laundry for the homeless as well... These ladies go above and beyond, they go out, collect the laundry, Wash it, sanitize it, dry it, fold it and put it back into bags and deliver it back to the owners. They sanitize the machines between each load as well... these ladies are AMAZING in every aspect of the word... sending as much love their way as possible..

Civic field tonight at 5pm, Carrie Berg, Jeff Holmes, Nicholas Sutterley, Tina, and the band of "Misfits" will be out feeding the homeless. We applaud their efforts and send much love for what they have done and are doing for these folks. Such a great group of people. I am proud to classify them as friends.

Many in our area need help, think about this...

Many people I'm sure will relate to this...

Things have been a little crazy in my life this past week. I haven't had the opportunity to get back out there to help as of yet. Working with a new group to get a story out and get a lead on new resources to help the homeless. Exciting things are coming.

I just posted this on Bellingham Metro News and WCCW

It has come to my attention that Jeremiah is having troubles keeping up with the financial demands to keep assisting and paying our homeless community for their hard work. While they understand he can't pay them, they want to continue their efforts. Jeremiah would love to have some assistance with paying them this small wage for bringing the trash out of the camps and continuing to reward them for the work that they are doing. If anyone can, or is willing to, offer some financial assistance, by donation, he would greatly appreciate it. If you want to donate, use the Venmo account at the top of this page, or you can reach out to me to get a link directly to Jeremiah. Thank you in advance for anything you can do. Also we are still looking for donations of laundry soap, vinegar, and Baking Soda for washing. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for following us.

In the upcoming days, we will be setting up a bank account for any cash donations that you want to make. We will have FULL AND COMPLETE transparency about how the funds are used and where it is spent. As well as a receipt trail and will post transaction history FROM THE ACCOUNT if necessary. There will be very limited access to this account as well and we will try to set up so that ANYONE can walk in to the bank and make a deposit to it. More to come on that soon. In the meantime, if anyone wants to donate you can use the venmo account pinned to the page or you can reach out to us and get any venmo account from us from any one of the crew members of the group.

We will be making a page where we can have discussions where you can ask questions or post publicly for feedback. That page will also be for the homeless to make posts about what they NEED. We are working to determine a name for that page. If anyone has an idea we will welcome them.
