Help-Portrait East Bay/Berkeley

THIS was such a great day!

It's almost time for Help-Portrait East Bay/Berkeley 2025! I'm looking for someone interested in taking over this location.

I'm also looking for folks interested in volunteering for our Port Saint Lucie location to serve victims!

In 2008, before social media, Cowart used a blogging network to spread a very simple idea: Find people in need. Take their photos. Print their photos. And give them…

Boy was this humbling! As we left our last event the volunteers were all approached with a gift bag and beautiful heartfelt words in lovely handwritten thank you cards. Thank YOU!!

We have been in the works with putting Richmond, California on our Eastbay map, we're off to a good start! If you know someone, a family or a non-profit organization which serves communities in need, we would love to share some Christmas cheer with a gift of a Help-Portrait holiday portrait!

If you are a volunteer, sponsor, donor, photographer or videographer, and you wish to give back, please join us as we celebrate our 10th year in the Eastbay!! Major shout out to Nanci and her team at LifeLong Medical Care, all their participating families and staff who made this event quite a success, just look at those smiles!!!

Hello all you fabulous loving and giving people! I want to take this time to thank each and everyone of you for being a sort of a “rock” for our efforts in the SF EastBay Area since 2009!

It’s been an amazing journey and I’ve not only been blessed to have met some amazing photographers, videographers, hair/makeup artists as well as volunteers and sponsors but I’ve had the honor of meeting and serving the communities which need us most, especially during the holidays!

With this being said, I’d like to make an announcement that although bittersweet for me, I feel can be an awesome opportunity for a fresh perspective and new leadership for HelpPortrait in the EastBay and now Napa Valley!

Effective immediately, I am announcing that I am stepping g down as the HelpPortrait Site Director for the SF EastBay regions. Now this does not mean the buck stops here, look at this as a passing of the torch and an amazing opportunity if YOU or someone YOU know would like to consider jumping on board! I’m working with my current team to make sure the exit is graceful and seamless and as supportive as possible.

Have you thought about possibly leading this team? Maybe you’ve been hoping for this? My team consists of Bret Linford John Wright ans Dario Leventini and if you know and have worked with them you’d know our hearts are all in and we’re here to answer any questions! Sadly, John and Dario are not continuing as well this year, and I will confirm if Bret will be returning for another awesome year!

To be fair, I’d like to share a major and special announcement made by Jeremy Cowart and Help-Portrait https://help-portrait.com/2017/12/a-special-announcement/

Once again, many many many thanks to all our hardworking angels and let’s pray that the vision and mission continue as we go forward to serve the communities that need us most during the holidays and all year round.

Thank you again!

Dear Help-Portrait Community, When my friends and I gathered for that first Help-Portrait event in an old warehouse in Nashville, I had a sense that we had stumbled onto something special. I saw ph…
