Annual Mother's Day Banquet for Poor Mothers on Skid Row
LOS ANGELES, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- On this Mother's Day, Sunday, May 11,
from 10:30am - 1:00pm, a miraculous power will be unleashed on Skid Row at
Fred Jordan Mission. That power is a simple thing called "love," 2,000
impoverished and struggling mothers and their families from Skid Row and the
inner city will be touched by this love as it is transmitted by random acts of
kindness from strangers. Volunteers who were once strangers to these forgotten
mothers will honor and serve them a special sit-down Mother's Day Banquet they
will never forget. The Banquet will be served at the Fred Jordan located at
445 Towne Avenue inLos Angeles.
These acts of kindness will transform lives and renew the crushed spirits
of abandoned and abused women. Mother's Day is the biggest restaurant day in
the nation, yet since these mothers in the inner-city struggle simply to feed
their children from day to day, it's a cinch they can't take their children to
a restaurant. So once again this year Fred Jordan Missions will treat these
mothers and their families to a specially prepared sit-down banquet made just
for them. Without these acts of kindness, these needy women would have nowhere
to go for Mother's Day. There will also be gifts for each mother when she
leaves the banquet.
Nearly 40% of the nation's homeless are mothers with young children and
that number keeps rising. Come see what it's like to be a mother who's been
stripped of her dignity and still responsible for young children living on
Skid Row and in the inner city. Hear how your viewers, listeners and readers
can make a real difference. Witness first-hand hundreds of poor and hurting
women being given more than gifts and flowers just for them, but given back
their dignity.
The Mission has fed, clothed and sheltered our community's neediest
citizens since 1944. Throughout the year the Mission feeds hundreds of hungry
people every day and with the assistance of compassionate donors, volunteers
and staff, builds schools, orphanages and hospitals around the world,
distributes food and clothing to the homeless, and makes every holiday special
for poor families. We bring badly needed food and clothing to crime-ridden
inner cities and provide nutritious meals and after-school education for at-
risk children.
The Mission is a non-profit, faith-based, educational and relief
organization meeting the needs of hungry, homeless and impoverished people,
especially children and families in the inner cities of America and around the
world.
