Pickthemup origins begins in the heart of an individual who just loves people. As a Chaplain I worked with GSW, (Gun Shot Wound) victims their family, friends and community members. While working with this population,
God impressed upon me their need for a pickup! If you knew their story you can see Gods glory!
So, I began speaking at universities, colleges, and other places to bring an awareness of the tragedy that is happening in the inner cities. I have worked with FMV (Families of Murder Victims) MIC (Mothers in Charge), WOAR (Women Organized Against Rape), and participated on the board at the ME's (Medical Examiners) office for Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Albert Einstein Medical Center and Methodist Hospital.
Pickthemup is not just about this population, but for anyone who desires to see how the LOVE of God is demonstrated, and walked out in everyday living.
