I was fortunate enough to make a trip with the Image Masters crew to Biloxi, MS to document how this amazing community outreach program has made such an impact in post-Katrina Mississippi.
They help low-income and homeless families with ANYTHING they need, often employees were using their personal monies. I saw a woman come by to see if they could help her pay her $34 electic bill because she didn't have the means to pay it, a deaf man that stops by to pick up newly donated clothes because people keep breaking in to his FEMA trailer and stealing things at night since they know he's deaf, a woman so grateful to have her own dishes again in an apartment that they found for her.
So if you have a roof over your head, peel a few off the bankroll and donate to this worthy cause.
Even better, if you find yourself playing one of the Biloxi Casino's events, call and ask if they need a volunteer for a day - very humbling to see what these people do every day.
