Recent GRAMMY AWARD winner LECRAE partnered with LOVE BEYOND WALLS to provide portable hand washing stations around ATLANTA for homeless and displaced people in response to COVID-19.
LECRAE said, “I’ve been following COVID-19 quite intently since it’s become a pandemic and first and foremost, I want to remind people this is not the end. While we can heed THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION’s recommendation to stay away from others who are sick, avoid crowds, and properly wash our hands, I can’t help but think about those living on the street who have no way to bathe or wash their hands.
People who may eat, sleep, and congregate so close to each other that social distancing is not possible. Partnering with LOVE BEYOND WALLS is my way of doing what JESUS did which is serve humanity. I’m humbled to support the work of organizations like LOVE BEYOND WALLS who help, serve, bring light, love, peace, and restoration every day.”
LOVE BEYOND WALLS Exec. Dir. TERENCE LESTER added, “We’re excited to have LECRAE be involved with our work at LOVE BEYOND WALLS because he understands the importance of restoring the community and affirming the dignity of those who are unseen. LECRAE understands that it takes both faith and action to provide real restoration in our communities and world. JESUS washed feet, now we have an opportunity to wash hands and provide that same type of restoration in a modern way.”
