S., Director of Community Outreach, Title 1 Division of Student and Family Support Programs, Miami-Dade County Public Schools . "It gives families a sense of inclusion and comfort, helping them feel valued and supported by their community."

A Community United
"The overwhelming response from our staff and foundation shows what is possible when we come together for a shared purpose," said Grant Cardone. "This is about more than food—it's about creating meaningful change for families in our community and giving them a reason to smile this holiday season."
Impact Beyond the Plate
