The Faces of Syracuse sat down with John and Leigh-Ann Tumino with In My Father’s Kitchen (IMFK), a not-for-profit organization offering assistance, food and necessities to the homeless living on the streets of Syracuse, NY.

Direct Street Outreach – assisting the chronically homeless who live on the streets of Syracuse and have a disability that prevents them from adequately caring for themselves.
 
Hire Ground: Offering a Hand Up Not a Hand Out – a program that gives panhandlers and the unemployed homeless in Onondaga County an opportunity for change in their lives by offering work experience through day labor and connections to needed support services.
 
LifeHouse – a transforming program for women who choose to escape human trafficking and the trauma that has entangled their lives.
