\"Delegates
Region 4 delegates with In My Father’s Kitchen co-founder Leigh-Ann Tumino, front row, fifth from left, after Regional Coordinator Monica Moore, to her right, presented the charity with $3,000 in donations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 24, 2024 —<\/em> Delegates gave generously to this year\u2019s Community Outreach recipient, In My Father\u2019s Kitchen, a faith-based organization offering assistance to homeless people through direct street outreach.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"InCharities are selected by the host region, this year Region 4, and the PEF Convention Committee.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSyracuse is one of the snowiest regions in the world. Homeless people are out there, and they won\u2019t come in,\u201d said Region 4 Coordinator Monica Moore. \u201cThat\u2019s why we selected In My Father\u2019s Kitchen. I was blown away by the generosity.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the money raised by raffling the 15 gift baskets donated by Regions and Committees, the sock brand <\/span>Bombas<\/span><\/a> donated 500 pairs to the charity and members donated winter clothing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moore presented In My Father\u2019s Kitchen co-founder Leigh-Ann Tumino with a check for $3,080 and Tumino shared how the charity began 13 years ago after her husband John encountered a homeless man holding a sign near Destiny USA.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne day he was driving and saw a gentleman holding a sign and he noticed that nobody would look at this gentleman,\u201d she said. \u201cYou didn\u2019t want to make eye contact because then you were committed.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her husband went to Wegmans and bought the man food and water. When he returned, he parked and went over to talk to him.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe unloaded his life history,\u201d she said. \u201cAbuse at home, bullying in school, getting in with the wrong crowd. My husband said, \u2018I just wanted you to know that I see you and that God sees you and you are not invisible.\u2019\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From that encounter, In My Father\u2019s Kitchen was born. It\u2019s about more than just food.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our street outreach, we have found 372 people housing, with a staff of eight,\u201d said Tumino.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The organization also partnered with SUNY Upstate to visit the homeless and provide medical care, created a program to give panhandlers the chance to work and earn money for their work, and more.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
