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."

This initiative not only alleviates financial strain but also reinforces the importance of emotional and social well-being.

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
