Sacrificial Love in the Heart of the Hood

Our Day of Truth, Reflection, and Revival

HoodFriday is where love meets truth, and truth meets the hood.

Good Friday commemorates the moment Christ laid down His life, not as a gentle symbol, but as a liberator confronting oppression, exposing lies, and breaking chains.

HoodFriday carries that same fire into our communities.

This day is where we remember the people who poured into our neighborhoods when the world looked away.

It's where we confront what harmed us, honor what held us together, and awaken what's been waiting to rise.

It's when we commit to being the answer to our own prayers, to laying down our lives in service, love, and community building.

We're acknowledging that just as Jesus came from the hood of Nazareth to bring salvation, healing and hope are rising from our hoods today.

Come and see the testimonies of transformation. Come and see families restored. Come and see communities rebuilt through love and sacrifice. Come and see the power of people who refuse to let their zip code determine their destiny.

What Truth and Love Look Like in Action
