Testimonials

Onyxx Village Connection is love meets miracles. Love because they treat others as neighbors and take care of their needs with smiles and joy. OVC treats us at StreetCode and everyone in the community like family. They embody miracles because they never accept no for an answer - they are about finding a way. OVC is about believing that anything can happen. Right now, they are serving our community hundreds of meals every week - for free! - but I believe they will eventually be addressing many of our community’s needs. They are true visionaries.

CEO StreetCode Academy
Balondemu Jules Lyons is one of the most caring, considerate, and respectable young men I've come across in a long time. Balondemu spends the majority of his time looking after those who cannot look after themselves, including me in my times of need. Balondemu and Thandiwe Jennifer Lyons, have been there through rain, smoke, storm, frost, and heat to provide for those who love to see them coming. Balondemu and Thandiwe have been the savior of many lives. They take care of the community better than some facilities, with respect, no color line, always a smile, and with love - helping those who can receive and appreciate help.

There is healing power in a hot plate of food, and when it comes with a smile and a genuine “how are you?” it has the potential to turn your day around, no matter which side of the plate you’re on. Onyxx Village Connection is in the business of turning people’s days around, one hot plate at a time.
