it all started with tammie
20 years strung out on crack
In and out of prison
Homeless for 10 years
Lived under a bridge for 5 years
In and out of treatment centers
Live the Proof, Inc. is the brainchild of Tammie McCory, a man who has lived, survived, and overcome addiction and homelessness by finding a way out through faith, strength, and perseverance. He now uses his life experiences to help others do the same. Through his recovery and restoration, Tammie McCory is not only leading by example, he is living by example.
He is living the proof.
how it has grown
Live the Proof, Inc. began in November, 2019. Tammie started by handing out sandwiches to the homeless community in the parking lot of a local church in Franklin, Kentucky. Tammie's vision was much bigger, but this was the first step.
Since then, Live the Proof has grown to include a local soup kitchen called “Live the Proof Café.” It is here that the homeless and those who are food insecure come to get free groceries and a free or “Pay what you can” meal two days a week. Volunteers gather from local grocers and farmers through the "Feeding America Program" and the food is brought to the Café to supply a free grocery store or use in future meals.
In addition to the Café, Live the Proof, Inc. has a Drop-Inn Center where those experiencing homelessness can find shelter from the elements, get water & snack items, use restrooms, showers, laundry services and obtain access to wi-fi 3 days a week
Live the Proof, Inc. has grown from one man handing out sandwiches to so much more. However, there is still so much work to do. In order to continue their valuable efforts, please consider making a small donation now.
