Why is Westside Community Day in the Park Important?

Mind Changers Inc., Founder and CEO, Rodney T. Pelt, Sr., said that “giving back to underserved communities possesses the power to break the chains of inequality and ignite the flames of empowerment."

Also, "to embrace the beauty hidden within its struggles and to see the untapped potential in every individual. We also work to advocate for their voices to be heard, their needs to be met, and their dreams to be fulfilled.”
