The Guild Works

! This week we want to spotlight Mese! Another Guild Community Love and Gratitude Awards recipient. 🥳🥳🥳

It is a special gift when someone can truly see people with a compassionate heart and understand when others may not have the words to ask for help. Mese is one of those people! She is genuine, authentic, and incredibly reliable! Instead of asking “how can I help?”, she sees where the need is and without hesitation chooses to step up and just lend a helping hand. She not only saw our need and dove into volunteering; she showed up religiously!! Even as a full-time working mom, Mese carved out time to volunteer over 200+ hours in less than a year to support The Guild’s Community, Love, Wellness, and Connection Relief Pantry! 🥰🥰🥰 She has been an invaluable part of our team receiving families and distributing critical care supplies. The work of holding space for and checking-in over 150 families per pantry, with a loving spirit and generous heart, multiple times a week, takes emotional and mental stamina! 💪🙏You’ve helped thousands of families and continue to show up with your beautiful spirit! 💞 Mese we are immensely blessed to have you as a part of our Guild family! We love you DEARLY and We THANK YOU from the bottom of our heart! 🖤🖤🖤

Today we spotlight another aspect of our Sanctuary Development Project Visionbook: African fractals!

to the transformation of 191 Bowdoin St into the Bowdoin-Geneva Community Hub! Where intergenerational neighbors and friends came together to convert this main street eye sore into an outdoor oasis ⛱🌲🌞 back in 2012. For 8 years, we provided healing, wellness, and cultural programming to residents. With this location now under development, we are planning for our next outdoor sanctuary.

🌟Drop a comment for what programming you’d like to see in our next outdoor location! Stay tuned for more! 😎
