1/14/24: Feedback from "The Zone"
On January 14, 2023, 4THELUV ventured back to 'the zone' in Downtown Phoenix to connect with the unhoused community. Our mission was clear: gather firsthand feedback from those we aim to support. In a thoughtful approach, we crafted a specific survey with targeted questions, aiming to gather authentic feedback on what they truly need. Amidst the freeze warning, we also distributed over 300 hand warmers, offering warmth and comfort to those facing harsh conditions. The valuable insights gained compelled us to make this initiative a recurring commitment. Join us in creating a meaningful impact, guided by the voices and resilience of those in need!
