CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, December 15, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We must break the cycle of poverty in our neighborhoods.

LBD Enterprises is a needy-family organization dedicated to feeding homeless children and others in need in the south suburbs of Chicago. LBD’s program focuses on children, families, the elderly, the homeless and people who are temporarily or periodically in need of assistance.

“This is what it’s all about: making sure people have what they need,” says Loquator Dinkins, founder and CEO of LBD Enterprises. “Too often we turn their back on people who don’t have anything. We think, ‘That’s not my problem.’ But it’s somebody’s problem. If you’re blessed you can’t just thank God you’re blessed. You need to pay it forward.”

LBD provides the fundamental support necessary to enable families to eat balanced nutritious meals. They also help those seeking employment by offering job training workshops, clothing and transportation funds to help them reach their fullest potential.

“If a person is hungry and cannot pay for food for their children, they’re going to go out and rob somebody,” says Dinkins. “You can reduce crime significantly simply by ensuring these people have something to eat and something to keep them warm when it’s cold.”

While LBD Enterprises is focused on the south suburbs of Chicago, they will go wherever the need is. There are no boundaries. They’ve been helping feed cloth needy people for 46 years.

“I used to own a restaurant and I saw so much need on the streets,” recalls Dinkins. “At the end of the day I would close the restaurant down and I would call the hungry people to the restaurant and feed them. I made sure they ate.

Dinkins says this is even more important because many of these people in need are children. They’re innocent. They didn’t ask for this. They just want to eat dinner and know where their next meal is coming from.

“If the Lord didn’t give me my health and strength there’s no way I could do what I do for people,” says Dinkins. “So I’m most grateful for my health and strength the Lord has blessed me with so we can continue to do good work and help people in need.”

CUTV News Radio will feature Loquator Dinkins in an interview with Doug Llewelyn on December 18th at 1pm EST.
