Event Recap

22 Hands Up Second Annual Food Fest

Saturday, September 27th, 2025

A Day of Unity and Celebration
Minden Community House • 711 Gladney Street, Minden, Louisiana

Brothers and sisters, on this day, the streets of Minden, Louisiana, were filled with joy, excitement, and the spirit of unity. From the foundation laid by the founders of old, we see today the continuing work of Darrell and Sandra Hampton, who labor tirelessly for the advancement and empowerment of our Black youth.

The day resounded with song and celebration, a testament to our culture and heritage. Plates were abundant with delicious food and sweet treats, gifts were shared in the spirit of giving, and hearts were lifted with laughter and fellowship.

We were honored by the presence of our Mayor, who reminded us that community is strengthened when we come together, and our sponsors, like Brookshire's, who showed the power of standing for progress. The raffles, the music, the laughter—all spoke of a people determined to rise, to build, to shine.

Let this day remind us: we march forward, not just for ourselves, but for the generations yet to come. With hands lifted high, voices joined in song, and hearts filled with purpose, we proclaim: our children, our youth, and our community shall not be denied their destiny.
