Let’s reminisce about memorable moments from last year.
Juan’s belief in the transformative power of the ministry is palpable. For him, it is about more than providing food; it is about creating a safe haven, lending a listening ear, and sharing a cup of coffee with a friend in need.
The power of the ministry lies in its partnerships. From the dedicated volunteers to the staff at Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and the local Walmart Neighborhood Market associates, working together is crucial in the fight against hunger in Central Florida.
It’s Earth Day. In Florida, an average family of four wastes $1600 annually on food that wilts, spoils or otherwise goes uneaten. While this statistic is staggering, the consequences of food waste extend beyond just environmental concerns; our actions also profoundly impact hunger relief efforts. By being mindful of how we handle and utilize food, we can reduce waste and ensure fewer people face hunger.
Here are some steps you can take on Earth Day and every day.
