Just came across this article from 2008 about the Just The Right Attitude Food Bank. It is one of my favorites so I thought I would share it. Here is an excerpt from the article that is available in the Nola.com’s archives…
Woman’s bad times help others

Just the Right Attitude is more than a food bank in eastern New Orleans.
“Debra South gives out everything from hot meals to hugs,” Ray Reggie said. “She has a personal rapport with everyone. She understands what it means to need help.”
Ray Reggie (now Chairman of the Board of JTRA), managing partner with Premier Promotions, serves on the board of Just the Right Attitude along with Troy Duhon, president of Premier Automotive Group.
In 2002, when the men heard about the little food pantry Debra was operating out of her garage, they decided to offer her a space on the second floor of a car dealership. And Just the Right Attitude began to grow.
“We love her cause,” Ray Reggie said. “Everybody wanted to help.”
— Growing out of need —
The idea for the community resource began a decade ago with a trip Debra made to the food stamp office. She was a mother in her 30s fighting ovarian and thyroid cancer, and she’d had to retire from her accounting job. Her first husband had taken off, and she was surviving on disability checks and help from family and friends.
She didn’t make enough money to feed her son and daughter, but she was rudely told she made too much to qualify for food stamps.
“I felt so humiliated,” she said.
She promised God that if she got better she would find a way to help people who were hungry and struggling.
From that promise, and a few shelves of canned goods, grew a United Way agency that doles out hope and 2.5 million pounds of food a year.
When Ray Reggie asked a man what he’d do without Debra’s food bank, he answered, “I would be hungry.”
— Place to get a hand —
In April, Just the Right Attitude, with the help of Ray Reggie, moved into two buildings next to Toyota of New Orleans on the I-10 Service Road. And since then, Debra has been giving out lots of hot meals, boxes of staples and hugs….

I think it is good to remind myself why the work I do with JTRA is so important and this does. Have a Blessed day.

Now may not seem like the time to be firing up your networking but instead many people that have worked for property managers or investors to clean up properties to rent or sell are thinking about throwing in the towel and going back to regular, supposedly secured jobs. But if there is any possible way that you are one of the lucky few that can hold out until the market comes back you could be sitting on a goldmine. Eventually, the market will come back up and your services will be a high priority for many people. Use your downtime now to network. Find property managers that may need your service and start to build relationships with them now. Give them some advice about something they need done. Find them a cheaper way to do. They will remember you when they need work done again. Check out this article to get some ideas of where the future trends are headed and then go on to do more homework so you are in the “know” when your business takes on the new market.
