The Jesus Life Company

What The Jesus Life Company does

The Jesus Life Company (JLC, also styled The Jesus Life Company Inc.) is a privately held, faith-based nonprofit social impact organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Harlem, New York City. The organization delivers community services that combine practical material aid (food, clothing, hygiene kits, seasonal care packages) with Christian evangelism and biblical teaching. It operates through four core programmatic branches: Jesus Feeds (food distribution and the Community Thanksgiving Dinner), Jesus Cares (Homeless Care Kit Giveaways and the Bomba Socks partnership), Jesus Teaches (Teaching in The Park, The 180-Experience, evangelism in Harlem and NYC), and Vine Clothing (free clothing and shoe distribution). The flagship annual event, Walk For A Soul, is the primary organizing moment of the year and most recently took place on September 20, 2025.

The organization's technology footprint is minimal: a Wix-hosted marketing and donation website plus PayPal Fundraiser for donation processing. There is no proprietary software, mobile application, AI system, data platform, or API surface in evidence. Revenue is generated through individual donations (one-time and monthly, with suggested tiers of $25, $50, $75, and $100), corporate and foundation partnerships (notably Bombas for sock donations), and free event registration with optional donations. Marketing is executed almost entirely through organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn), an email newsletter signup, and community word-of-mouth driven by events. The organization is founder-led by Asha McDermott (Founder & CEO), with a five-person leadership team including Collin McDermott (VP & CMO), Latisha Lambert (COO), Katherine Kinard (Engagement Ambassador), and Henry Martillier (Treasurer); no parent company, private equity backing, or institutional ownership is identified.
