What a beautiful way to close out our Gary Storm Community Wellness Response series!
SanPhil Legacy Foundation was grateful to serve at the community event organized by food critic and content creator Keith Lee in collaboration with The Salvation Army.
Keith Lee contributed $15,000 toward the response, which was matched by NBA player, Tyrese Haliburton, bringing the total to $30,000. Pastor Jamal Bryant and his church also raised and donated $245,000. The Salvation Army provided food, cleanup kits, and other essential supplies, while the City of Gary provided free food and community resources.
We also loved seeing wellness represented throughout the event. NorthShore Health Centers offered access to free therapy resources, while gospel music, dancing, food, and fellowship brought some much needed joy and connection to the community.
SanPhil Legacy Foundation was there helping distribute resources and serve Gary residents alongside so many others who came together for the city.
These pictures represent more than one event. They represent what is possible when people, organizations, community leaders, and residents bring their resources together for a common purpose.
Thank you to everyone who gave, organized, served, volunteered, and showed up for Gary!
