The Long Awaited Meeting with Lee Anne & John of NOMSA

It has almost been one year since I’ve met Lee Anne Rankin from NOMSA at one of our weekly Food Sharing’s. When we met I was running around like crazy, as I do every Monday night. In the short time we talked, she told me about the amazing things she was going with NOMSA and their food sharing that began with similar inspirations and ironically the same month and year as the Rock for Hunger weekly food sharing. So, the two of us really wanted to get together and meet to discuss all the great ways we can help our friends to better lives. Unfortunately, that meeting never took place until another NOMSA member, John Roquemore (the brother of local musician James Roquemore) contacted me through Twitter. This social media tool has done amazing things for us in recent months.

This week finally, Lee Anne, John and I have met and chatted about how we can help our friends in need. I was really excited to meet with these amazing individuals who share similar passions and visions as we do. It was great to find out that they also had the goal to partner with other organizations to make a change together as one community, and not as individuals. Which I truly believe is the only way we can make change happen. NOMSA and Rock for Hunger are going to be working on and partnering on many ventures in the future.

My main reason for also telling you about them, was to show you a video of their upcoming project called “Journey.” A 15-week trip through the country in 15 different cities, one week in each, documenting and studying about Homelessness and organizations that are out there to make a difference. Here is their first of weekly videos describing the “Journey.” Keep up the great work and keep inspiring!
