My grandmother, Loraine Byrd Fields-Latham, or affectionately known as Smiley taught me about the word, Agape.

She described it to me as God’s love that He has towards us. This agape love is pure, kind and unconditional (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). Because of her, Agape came to be. After her passing, Agape was born. What we do is simple. We have clothes that have been donated to us—most commonly, coats and socks; we make or pick up fresh food and converse with those who are often judged and forgotten about.

Smiley taught us the ONLY time you look down on anyone is if you are extending a hand down to help them. She is the reason my heart is for the Homeless population. My mother would always tell me, we are all one paycheck or decision away from being homeless. It is important that we help and give back. My mother (Smiley’s daughter) reenforced Smiley’s teachings.

Before the birth of Agape, I volunteered with a wonderful organization, We Feed the Homeless Philly!

Thank You!
