November 3, was a Brilliantly Bright Autumn Day, where education and awareness was provided regarding issues faced by those vulnerable to poverty, hunger and homelessness while offering various activities for all that attended.
VOICES were heard through artistic initiatives—displayed, demonstrated and created.
LIGHTFEST Re-Ignited Ambassador “Sunshine” Joe Mallard’s commemorative tapestry from LIGHTFEST Re-Ignited 2017 was presented to a representative of St. Augustine Catholic Church in appreciation of their continued support of LIGHTFEST.
Sunshine Joe Mallard is a motivational lecturer and visual art presenter and educator. During a presentation some years ago, a young girl called Mr. Mallard “Sunshine Joe.” She said to him, “The sunshine brings light and you do too.”
There was a diverse group of participants where education and awareness regarding issues faced by those vulnerable to poverty, hunger and homelessness was provided.
All participants, including those within the homeless community, were invited to light up at 7pm led by Brad DeZern as participants sang This Little Light of Mine and This Land is Your Land.
