marathoner452Emergency Communities will be closing at the end of November, and effective immediately they will be closing at 6 on weekdays and will be closed on weekends. This is not because the community has rebounded to the point where they no longer need a community center and three hot meals a day. There is still very little open that I can see, with the exception of a gas station, a church or two, and the school/library. No, EC is closing because they're running out of money, and I wish I had about $5,000 to give away to keep them open through Christmas.
Maybe some of the Garden District people I saw riding around in their luxury SUVs when I was up there running on Saturday can help them out.
In any case, just so those of you outside the city know, good things ARE happening here all over the city.
Another example is Reap the Harvest Full Gospel Baptist Church not far from the Mississippi levee down in the Lower 9, where I went yesterday morning at the invite of a gentleman I talked with at EC. I was the only white person there but I was welcomed wholeheartedly with plenty of hugs and handshakes and smiles.
