Christopher LeMark
I am very grateful and appreciative of the fact that I get to bring our listeners an amazing conversation today with Christoper LeMark, the founder of Coffee, Hip-Hop, & Mental Health - an amazing organization that has pivoted during the time of COVID to fighting hunger on the Southside of Chicago through multiple “Poverty is Violent” food drives throughout the summer.
The timing of this episode is very important as the largest event of the summer, Christmas in August, is happening this weekend, August 28th, 29th, and 30th at the CSO Multiplex on 47th Street in Chicago.
If you are a family in need on the Southside of Chicago, head over to chhamh.com/pick-up to sign up for delivery or pick-up availability ASAP! If you are looking to help out with some physical labor, as you’ll hear Christopher mention, head over to chhamh.com/piv10k to sign up today.
But most importantly, and also the easiest thing you can do, is text DONATE.FEEDCHI to 77948 and sponsor a family with an entire week’s worth of groceries and an entire year’s worth of resources for ONLY $40. That’s right, you can help feed an entire family for only $40 while providing them with resources to fight poverty and achieve some sense of normalcy.
Throughout the conversation, we dive into what brought Christopher to the creation of CHHAMH, the foundational element of the organization to normalize therapy, where Christopher looks to take CHHAMH beyond the Christmas in August event, and how his skill as a performer has brought him to his mission today!
