In 2010, Hazele Goodridge, member of Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia (MMFP) at Arch Street Meeting House and longtime Philadelphia resident, felt the call to serve her community and joined Philabundance’s Community Food Center Choice Food Pantry as a volunteer. During those days, Philabundance’s food pantry drew an estimated 300 people daily seeking assistance and support. Hazele differentiates the benefits of a choice food pantry versus a traditional food bank as one allows people in need and struggling with food insecurity to shop for what they needed instead of simply accepting what was given that may or may not serve either their dietary restrictions or an immediate need.

FunTimes Magazine will host Shattering the Stigma Part II: Addressing mental health in faith communities, part of its ongoing series focusing on mental wellness. The effort is aligned with the observance of July’s annual National Mental Health Minorities Month highlighting the challenges and solutions of our growing mental-health crisis in the United States. FunTimes’ Lavonne Nichols will lead the discussion of the Shattering the Stigma online workshop, the third installment, and — with the guidance of experienced clergy — take a deep dive into specific mental-health matters confronting local faith communities. Participants are Dr. Garth Gittens, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in West Philadelphia, IMAN Mohomed Jomandy and Dr. Deshawnda Williams, a pastor, clinical social worker and educator. Shattering the Stigma features 988 crisis Lifeline, a free go-to resource for those experiencing mental distress, particularly individuals in the higher-risk African-American communities.
