The Jacksonville (FL) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. in partnership with the Kappa Alpha Psi Jacksonville Foundation, Inc. donated $2,000 to the Sulzbacher Center’s Urban Rest Stop on May 19, 2021. The contribution was the suggestion of the chapter Senior Kappas committee as their community- service project to help combat the issues of homelessness in the Greater Jacksonville Community, advancing the agency’s mission “to empower homeless and at-risk women, children and men through health, housing and income services, thereby, restoring hope and self- sufficiency.” The awarded funds were presented in recognition of the fraternity’s Senior Kappa Week (May 17-23, 2021).
“The COVID-19 pandemic has become a reality to so many, forcing these individuals into homelessness. This daytime service provided for the growing number of the homeless in the City has been needed for decades,” said Senior Kappa Committee chairmanAlonzo Batson, Jr. The Urban Rest Stop, located within the Sulzbacher Center, supports over 400 homeless men and women during the day in downtown Jacksonville. The facility provides comprehensive services for the homeless five days a week. These services allow the participants to take showers safely, to wash and dry their clothes, to get hot meals, and in addition, to receive dental, mental and physical health treatments. The homeless also receive employment assistance, mailboxes and shelter placement.
