Part 2/7:
Mobile Loaves & Fishes, the organization behind Community First Village, was founded in 1998 with a simple yet powerful mission: to feed the homeless. Their early efforts involved food trucks, which fostered a human-to-human connection, breaking down the barriers typically seen in charity work. Serving food side-by-side with those in need created a sense of shared humanity, a model that was crucial to future successes.
This approach proved transformative, emphasizing personal relationships rather than mere charity. It demonstrated that addressing homelessness requires genuine compassion and meaningful human interaction—not just providing resources, but building community and trust.
