“To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Required”

When people ask me why I support Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, I reflect back on the quote, “To whom much is given, much is required.”

I believe that in order to meet the unmet needs in Central Florida, it is essential to not only support financially but to also give of your time, your platform, and your voice to bring awareness to all of the good that this organization offers to those who may need a little help. I, like anyone else, have had ups and downs, good times and bad. I’ve made poor choices, and I’ve made some right ones. As a mother of three little ones, there is nothing I would not do to ensure my children had food in their bellies and food in the refrigerator. It is also a passion of mine to always be a part of the solution in making sure that people in Central Florida have the essentials to live.

Giving back through Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida means we’re showing people that acts of kindness do exist. People from all walks of life, age, race, religion, gender, etc. all come together to be of service in any way we can. I love being a part of that. Now, more than ever, we need the support of our donors to meet the needs of our community.

On Saturday, May 21^st, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is hosting its first-ever Ultimate Garden Party presented by The Glenda G. Morgan Charitable Foundation to support the nonprofit’s mission of ending hunger. The event will be held at Loews Sapphire Falls Resort at Universal Orlando from 1-5pm, where Hunger Advocates will Escape to Elegance for an afternoon filled with live entertainment, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and specialty libations. As the chair of this event, I invite you to don your most dapper attire and join us for this incredible Hunger Fighting event.
