What started as a simple idea has transformed into a powerful journey—one built on passion, purpose, and people. Over the past three years, TOBOS has grown through challenges, opportunities, and the deep call to serve, guided every step of the way by understanding, joy, and compassion.

🍽️ 27,040 meals served to the Howard Levine Men’s Shelter & the Salvation Army Women & Children Shelter
🎒 720 children equipped with school supplies
🧼 Over 2,500 hygiene bundles distributed

None of this would be possible without the incredible hands and hearts behind the scenes—our dedicated team, generous donors (corporate & personal), and tireless volunteers.

Thank you for believing in the vision.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for helping TOBOS become a pillar of hope, service, and impact.

Here’s to growing deeper roots and reaching higher branches in the years to come.

Every time we serve a meal, we’re not just feeding the community — we’re feeding our souls. Volunteering with TOBOS fills hearts, lights up our volunteer’s faces, and reminds us that we’re making a real difference!
The smiles we see aren’t just from those we serve — they’re shining from us, too.

At TOBOS, we believe in feeding more than just stomachs — we feed hearts, hope, and community. Every meal we serve is a reminder that kindness matters. Every smile we receive fills our volunteers with purpose and joy. 😊🍽️
From our hands to theirs — this is what love in action looks like.

Sometimes the captain has to steer the ship without deckhands to help navigate to its destination and today was one of those days. We were truly inspired by TOBOS’s founder, Jamaal! Not only does he orchestrate incredible initiatives behind the scenes, but he also leads by example on the front lines.

At the Howard Levine Men’s Shelter, Jamaal single-handedly fed individuals meals which includes chicken salad, beans, tuna salad, chicken patties, side salad, bread/roll and a vibrant assortment of fresh vegetables. He also continued being busy by preparing to-go plates.

His dedication to feeding individuals in our community truly exemplifies the heart of TOBOS. We’re grateful for leaders like Jamaal who roll up their sleeves and make a real difference!

Let’s keep lifting each other up and spreading kindness. Together, we can create a stronger community!

Yesterday TOBOS volunteer event at the Howard Levine Men's Shelter filled our hearts completely! Our amazing team prepared and served meals, organized donations, and most importantly, connected with the wonderful residents who shared their stories and gratitude.

The genuine smiles exchanged and conversations had reminded us all why community service matters so deeply. "The smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference" perfectly captures what we experienced today.

Special thanks to everyone who donated their time and energy. The shelter staff mentioned how much our regular visits mean to the residents. The gratitude flowed both ways - we came to give but left having received so much more in return.

Looking forward to our next volunteer day!
