5 Free Roofs to the Community First! Village - as it Expands

As we contemplate our local issues , leaving Washington far behind, my mind often falls to my own soft bed.

What if I didn’t have a bed? What if I didn’t have a chair with 4 walls around it that kept me safe, cool or warm?

“Chief” , a long-time resident of the sidewalk on South Lamar and Ben White, cannot look to Washington for help. Leaving some food or a blanket is our job as fellow humans who live close by.

Dreams to Change the World – the most successful ones have a solid plan or system to create it. In the Community First Village we have found a template , a solid repeatable plan to conquer homelessness.

Yes, there are some outliers like “Chief” who will never settle down but for many this is the community, safety, security and even money that they need.
It’s a community that is a little different than the ones on Main Street.

Every one of us can do something - Recycling, Volunteering, Conserving, Voting !

For 2019 and the Future Austin Roofing and Construction will be Donating at Least 5 Free Roofs to the Community First! Village as it Expands – Included is a Free Roof Repair & Maintenance Package for all of the Residences .

In 2018
we met the creator of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, the founding non-profit for Community First! Village, Alan Graham & his COO Kevin Shepherd.

They took us on a strolling tour through a dream made into a reality ...

We were so captured by what they, Alan, his team & the residents, are creating that we joined forces wholeheartedly with them. They are creating works of art be the medium steel, glass or canvas with paint & all are for sale! They, the residents, work the auto shop that will change your oil while you volunteer - for a small fee of course. Sword anyone? There's a Forge!
They are building their own businesses!

The vision of empowering & changing the lives of so many at the same time is awe inspiring still! We are proud to be a small part assisting in this amazing show of love & humanity gone right.
