ABOUT DOING OUR PART

"Having never truly understood how things we take for granted meant so much, I now see how these things (food, water, shelter, etc.) are the difference between life and death. It is an honor to be able to assist those who are less fortunate."

Message from the Founder

As Founder of Doing Our Part (DOP), it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. As our Mission states, we are truly about “HELPING OTHERS HELP THEMSELVES”. As a nationally recognized 501(C)(3) non-profit, DOP serves our community effortlessly. I encourage you to review some of the activities that we currently participate in and commit to supporting someone who is in need of a little help. As the years have come and gone, I have had the opportunity to meet some very inspiring people. One of the most inspiring happened to be a person that was down on hard times. As he and I engaged in a very intellectual conversation, I was extremely intrigued to hear his story. As I struggle with wanting to ask about his story, I finally made the decision to just ask. He had one response, “I made a bad decision!” After hearing and understanding that, I immediately realized a “decision” needed to be made. That decision was to create Doing Our Part!!!

By serving as the Founder of DOP, I have become keenly aware of the needs of less fortunate. While there are many public services that are available, it is going to take much more than public assistance to reach our local communities. With financial, physical and community commitment, DOP has an excellent opportunity to provide exceptional opportunities for the less fortunate within our community.

I invite you to partner with Doing Our Part in making a difference. While there is plenty of work to be done, we can’t accomplish this alone. However, we can make a difference by DOING OUR PART.

Again, I thank you for visiting our page and please come back again.

Sincerely,

 

Dedric K. Myers
