For Our 3 year Anniversary
Our Anniversary looks different this year :
Our 3 year anniversary is coming up for Presley & Co!! We can't have our annual party just yet, but we can do something purposeful. We want to celebrate by giving back to our community. Many of you know that I'm very passionate about the homeless issue in San Diego, so we are partnering with Voices of Our City to help make a difference. They are an amazing organization. You might have seen their choir on America's Got Talent!
Donating and Partnering with Voices of Our City
They are in need of clothes (especially men's clothes and men's shoes). We will be accepting donations in our store from now until April 30th. We will also be donating a percentage of every sale and jewelry repair from April 1-April 30 to Voices of Our City. Get something sparkly while helping out...win win! You can also make a monetary donation straight through their website.
A note from the choir director Steph Johnson:
I need your help.
Today, one of our choir members was without shoes. I hadn't seen him for a long time. He asked me to pray for him--that he could stay on his journey and keep going. All we had at the distribution center to offer him were two pairs of socks. This got me thinking:
Do any of my male friends have tennis shoes/boots/slippers that you can part with? I know we need a size 12 in men's shoes but we need more...men's clothing, warm things, all those things.
It is cold tonight in San Diego. Imagine you are suffering, forced to sleep outside on the cold sidewalk every night. There is not adequate support for trauma or mental illness. You are alone, trying your best to survive the elements without a tent or shoes.
Can you help?
Monday through Friday we are at 1550 Market St San Diego 92101 (Living Water Church of the Nazarene) where you can drop off these items between 10am and 2pm.
If you'd like to make a donation, please head over to voicesofourcity.org/donate and we can shop for what people need.
Thank you
Steph
