â¤ï¸A friend of our from the park owns this local restaurant. We are very proud of his Kindness focus. I nominate him an Honorary KindSpringer ðŸ‘
“The streets of Brooklyn can be a very brutal and unforgiving environment for the homeless- especially in times of extreme weather events, and major holidays when most persons are home in a warm, comfortable environment spending time with their loved ones.
For the last 10 years, Kemar Blake - the founder of Bellyful Restaurant and Bar in Brooklyn has been involved in a very noble project of feeding the homeless all across Brooklyn. Kemar uses significant personal occasions such as his birthday and major holidays to execute this initiative. In recent years, he has co-opted his young children to use their birthdays as well to engage in building a tradition that will positively impact the lives of some of Brooklyn's most unfortunate for years to come.
This initiative has now being formally adopted as Bellyful's core Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project.” â¤ï¸
