Light at the end of the tunnel. It seems like this phrase pops up every time our community faces a daunting challenge or hardship. The past two years have certainly felt overwhelming for thousands of our neighbors in Central Florida.
The ability to keep looking forward through adversity lies deep in our nature as humans. For some, it can be harder to maintain that hope for a brighter future. For our low-income neighbors, these moments can feel dark, lonely, and discouraging. The basic needs of life become even more paramount, and the smallest gestures of love and support can make such a dramatic difference.
This year at Second Harvest Food Bank, we have witnessed some of the most selfless generosity from our community that we can recall. Your support delivered a dramatic increase in the amount of nutritious food flowing to individuals and families facing some of the darkest times of their lives. You are the light at the end of their tunnel.
We are grateful for your support, your gifts of food and funds, and your acts of volunteerism. I hope you will take some time to reflect on the hope that your kindness and generosity shine brightly for so many.
Thank you!
Jeff Lutes
Chairman, Board of Directors
Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida
