Do you remember this question from television – “It’s a bird, It’s a plane? Is it a Learning Center OR is it a Neighborhood Resource Center? Christian King, the founder and Director of the PINK HOUSE often refers to a cert

ain event as her ‘baptism’ – an immersion into and awareness of the reading challenge that confronted the youth of her bible study class. Reading for Reverend Christian King was as natural as breathing, so with her natural love and concern for others, she could not allow herself to stand by doing nothing to address the situation. With brave determination and the meager personal funds of her husband Kelvin and herself, she took on
the daunting challenge that has resulted in a learning center/Neighborhood resource Center dedicated to
teaching the fundamentals of reading and reading comprehension with an emphasis on community service. From a ‘baptism’ The P.I.N.K. H.O.U.S.E. (People Innovating New Kinships thru Helping Others
Uplift Services and Education) was born – the year was 1997. King and her husband began the Herculean task of renovating a dilapidated building in the neighborhood. When funds and faith ran low, she only had to remember those kids who faced almost insurmountable
odds against success – single parents most often holding down two jobs leaving aging grandparents
to provide after school care. The Pink House opened its doors officially in January 1999. The program has proven itself by an overwhelming
success record. Popular with its students and volunteers which include a well-trained cadre of
teenage volunteers – standardized school tests are measurably higher among the Pink House students. One of its student volunteers has received national recognition for community service and is currently enrolled
in Benedict College after having earned several well-deserved scholarships. Several are now college graduates or attendees giving back to the community. The Pink House has helped to transform lives as it provides a safe, enjoyable, fun after-school learning
environment during the school year. It continues its mission with a full day program during the summer. The need for this facility cannot be over-stated as a haven from the hustle and struggle of the streets, of
teen drug dealing, early pregnancy, and violent crimes.

Some Holidays come from calendars.
Some come from history books.
And then… there are the ones born right in the middle of the neighborhood — out of laughter, good food, kids running around, and one man whose heart has quietly been showing up for people for years.
At the PINK HOUSE Neighborhood Resource Center, we are officially preparing for the Annual Festival Holiday of Celebrating Saint Kelvin King Day. 🎉
Now yes… technically his birthday lands on St. Patrick’s Day 🍀
But we decided something very important:
Why compete with leprechauns when you can celebrate a living legend?
So we moved the party so the kids, families, mentors, and the whole communitycould gather together and properly give this man his flowers while he can still blush about it.
Because Kelvin King has been the kind of man who:
shows up when no one is watching
cooks when people are hungry
laughs when life gets heavy
and loves this community like it’s his extended family
The children around here know him as the man who always has time.
The mentors know him as the quiet backbone.
And the neighborhood knows him as proof that kindness can walk around in work boots and still crack a good joke.
So this year… we are making it official.
🎺 Saint Kelvin King Day at the PINK HOUSE
A day of laughter.
A day of gratitude.
A day where the community pauses and says:
“Thank you for the years you poured into us.”
There will be smiles.
There will be food.
There will probably be some roasting of Kelvin too — because love in this neighborhood always comes with a little humor.
But most of all… there will be joy.
Because when someone spends years planting goodness in a community…
the harvest looks like kids laughing, neighbors gathering, and a celebration big enough to embarrass him just a little.
Happy early Saint Kelvin King Day.
The neighborhood loves you. ❤️🍀🏡
