Mother's Notes - Benefit Brunch

Imagine the sound of “Grandma’s Hands” echoing through a cozy room, the hum of Ledisi carrying words you didn’t even know you needed to hear, and the warmth of a community gathered not just for a cause—but for a moment of reflection, healing, and joy.

We invite you to join us for Mother’s Notes, a soulful benefit evening where we’ll pause, unwind, and listen to the notes—both spoken and sung—that remind us of who we are and who we’re becoming.

📅 Date: September 20, 2025

🕒 Time: 12:00pm - 2:00pm

📍 Location: First United Methodist Church of Downtown Jacksonville | 225 E. Duval St. Jacksonville FL, 32202

This benefit experience blends live music, storytelling, and truth-telling—honoring the wisdom passed down through generations of mothers, aunties, and elders. Songs that carried hope. Notes that sparked change. Conversations that sparked movement.

From the beat of "Feeling Good" to the soul of “Still I Rise,” let this moment be your reminder that you are seen, heard, and held. And every dollar raised will support Pillars Plus Foundation:

Pillars Plus Foundation: Our mission is to unite the pillars of our community, work together towards the common goal of reducing suffering and poverty for the next generation by ending youth homelessness in Duval County.

We envision closing the gap from foster care to the streets by prioritizing housing, educating, equipping, and empowering the next generation.

Pillars Plus Foundation’s partnership initiative to close the gaps: currently we have partnerships with Changing Homelessness, FSCJ, Sulzbache Center, and Daniel Kids, The United Methodist Florida Conference, Residing Hope and Better together. These organizations will aid us by providing support in the below areas.

Come ready to be moved. Come open to receive your note. Come be part of something powerful.

We can’t wait to share this moment with you.

With joy
