Description

Fitness fundraiser raising awareness and funds for the unhoused community "Love on Newark" started February 20, 2021. A few Newark residents came up with the idea to show up consistently every Saturday to connect with our unhoused friends. In the beginning it was about meeting an immediate need whether food, water, or simple necessities. But what we learned was that we needed to build trust with our friends. We all established from the beginning that we were not above those we serve, but that we are all equals. As we built that trust we moved from delivering bags weekly to setting up a grill near their location to cook breakfast every Saturday. What this created was not only a hot meal, but a common table to build authentic connections. The relationships have grown deeper to where our friends were now showing up to our homes and church functions. They not only know us by name, but they are family. So how can you support? We ask that you partner with us as we build upon this concept of "Loving on Newark." It's members of this beautiful community that will be the cause of change. There are a few ways that you can help. 1. Fitness Fundraiser at CrossFit of Fremont on Saturday, November 6th. $25 to join; if you cannot make it, here are other ways to help 2.
