Social Charity- October 2009- Mobile Loaves & Fishes

Article by: Lani Rosales on October 23, 2009

PLEASE use one of these slideshows in your own blog:

For the first ever social charity presentation roundup, several people (even some not in Austin!) stepped up to bat to put together various slideshows based on facts provided by Alan Graham of local non profit organization, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, serving the needs of the homeless.

What we need YOU to do is pick whichever presentation calls to you and embed it into your own blog, encouraging people to be generous with Mobile Loaves & Fishes.


Denice Crowell graciously stepped up to create the above presentation and in conversation with her, I learned that band Papa Roach is highly involved with their local homeless population as well (interesting)!


Although Brandie Young doesn’t live in Austin, she donated her time to put together this gorgeous presentation about Austin homelessness. I’ve always known her to be a generous person plus she’s got great design chops, so it was a match made in social media heaven!


Matt Kelly is in the process of making a move to Austin and we emailed back and forth recently and I learned some touching stories from him regarding the Houston homeless (where he’s moving from). His presentation will quickly show you the solutions that Mobile Loaves and Fishes presents.


Above is my own slideshow and although it’s got several slides, it is a quick quiz on homelessness that highlights basic facts about the Austin homeless population.

Mobile Loaves and Fishes feeds and clothes the homeless and is working on fundraising for a project called “Homes on Wheels” as highlighted in the slideshows above. Please embed one of the presentations into your own blog, tell a story of how homelessness has impacted you or the work you’ve done to fight it for others… and most importantly, please consider giving regularly to Mobile Loaves and Fishes!
