Part 5/7:
At Mobile Loaves & Fishes, the mission is clear: inspire communities into a lifestyle of service toward the homeless. The residents—many of whom are remarkably talented—are given opportunities to rediscover purpose through micro-enterprise ventures. These include a car care business, art studio, pottery shop, blacksmithing, woodworking, and organic farming.
Over the past two years, the organization has paid out over a million dollars to neighbors in wages, helping sustain their independence and dignity. By providing meaningful work, Community First fosters a sense of purpose that's essential for long-term recovery.
