My City February 2022

“During this time, we also visited warming centers and helped provide those who were there with goods and COVID-19 protection equipment.” Golidy cites Harris Memorial Church of God in Christ as providing integral support for her outreach activities. To spread awareness of human tra cking, James-Moorehouse, Inc., took part in Flint’s Juneteenth celebration last year and visited multiple parks and organizations throughout the city. James-Moore- house, Inc., also has a presence at the Flint Farmers’ Mar- ket whenever possible to speak and educate its patrons. As soon as the house opens this year, James-Moore- house, Inc., will be in full swing. “We plan to provide 24 months of safe housing for survivors with full support and recovery programming,” informs Golidy. “We will work with other organizations such as the Flint Police Department to help as many as we can.Œe goal is to help survivors become self-su cient through healing, security, support and education.” Once the house is established, Golidy and volunteers will begin the Saved by Grace outreach program which identi‘es and o’ers help to those in need on the streets of Flint. “It’s what I was taught as a volunteer in Detroit during training. We can provide a way out for those who may not think it’s possible,” adds Golidy. James-Moorehouse, Inc. is about giving hope to those in the city who feel trapped in slavery, addiction and home- lessness. It’s an organization of support and safety for those who feel alone and vulnerable. For Golidy, it’s something she feels called to do. “As soon as the house is up and running, I am dedicating all of my time to it,” she says. “I want to help alleviate the hate and su’ering in the city and promote its happiness.” All her life, Golidy has cared for other people and maintains that there is good in everyone. And, she believes that through her e’orts and the compassion of others, James-Moorehouse Inc., will help survivors of human traf- ‘cking get back on their feet, stand up, and rise to glory.
