February has been a powerful month of gratitude at Neighborhood Servants. This month, we proudly spotlighted several leaders and change-makers whose impact continues to shape and strengthen our community in meaningful ways.

We celebrated Krystal Lopez, a true force in our community. Through Juicy Little Society, she ensures no family goes without meals while empowering young girls to rise as confident leaders and change-makers.

Her work goes beyond provision. She is building purpose. She is restoring hope. She is creating lasting impact.

Krystal, thank you for your servant heart and unwavering dedication to uplifting others. Our community is stronger because of you.

And we were honored to wish you a very Happy Early Birthday. May this next year bring continued growth, favor, and joy.

Pastor Kerwin & First Lady Madelyn Manning

Pasadena Church No Limits

We are honored to highlight Pastor Kerwin and First Lady Madelyn Manning for their steady and faithful leadership.

Their impact extends far beyond the church walls. Through constant prayer, guidance, answered phone calls, and genuine friendship, they have made a lasting difference in Neighborhood Servants and throughout the community.

Their leadership is personal. It is present. It is consistent. And it has helped strengthen the foundation we stand on.

Director & Producer B.P. Edwards

We proudly recognized B.P. Edwards for his incredible work and leadership in telling stories that matter.

Congratulations on the success of When The Sky Turned Orange, a powerful film capturing the impact of the Eaton fires on our community with honesty, depth, and heart. Through his creative lens, B.P. did more than document an event — he preserved emotion, resilience, and the strength of a community coming together.

Storytelling is leadership. B.P. has used his platform to ensure our voices, struggles, and hope are seen and remembered.

Thank you for helping us share our story. Thank you for standing with the community. And thank you for reminding us that even when the sky turns orange, light still breaks through.

As Founder of Project Passion and President of NAACP Pasadena Branch, Brandon’s intellect, leadership, and unwavering passion for community have made him a recognizable and trusted force in the ongoing effort to restore and uplift Altadena.

His voice matters. His leadership matters. And the work he continues to do is shaping the future of our community.
