“Standing in the Gap” Community Needs Drive
Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Stepping Up When Systems Fall Short
Standing in the Gap is a Community Needs Drive organized by The Lofton Family to support Jackson families affected by the government shutdown. We’ve partnered with Magnolia Medical Foundation and Urban Foxes to demonstrate community care in action and we would love for you to join us.
OUR INSPIRATION
OUR INSPIRATION
The Idea Began During a Homeschool Lesson
While studying The Black Panther Party’s Free Breakfast Program, our family talked about how everyday people can meet needs and serve their communities without needing permission. When the government shutdown began impacting families, we decided to take that same spirit of community care and do our part to “stand in the gap.”
