\u201cWe have an Amazon link for donations as well as donors to support the ministry,\u201d reported Augustin Badet. \u201cJesus Lounge Ministry also provides food and care packages as requested in the neighborhood, picks up donations like wheelchairs, canes, couches, chairs, and refers furniture needs to different organizations as a resource.\u201d Services range from immigration to food stamps and Medicaid applications, resume building, and childcare applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast month, in October, we sent 50 kits (pads, underwear, soap, wipes, washcloths, toothpaste, toothbrush) with a suitcase of clothing in collaboration with KOP Mentoring and the Delray Beach Police Department for disaster relief after Hurricane Ian,\u201d Augustin Badet said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jesus Lounge Ministry hygiene kits were part of three truck-loads of supplies delivered to students on the west coast of Florida, in the hard-hit Fort Myers area. A press release about the effort said that along with the Jesus Lounge Ministry, 20-some organizations collaborated including groups such as the Atlantic High School Football Eagles, Delray Beach Public Library, Farm Share, the Florida Highway Patrol, and Habitat for Humanity South Palm Beach, , among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
