Fresh Connections Volunteers with God's Love We Deliver-Post HRD for Blackout Box

God's Love We Deliver is an extraordinary non-profit organization serving nutritious food to home-bound men, women and their families battling HIV/AIDS, Cancer, and other serious illnesses, who are not able to prepare or provide nutritious meals for themselves due to their illness.

This past Sunday, Fresh Connections joined God's Love We Deliver in SoHo to help pack over 1,700 blackout boxes in case of emergency this summer. Blackout boxes contain water, granola bars, peanut butter, jelly, oatmeal, and a few other food items in case their is a summer blackout, GLWD prepares their clients with food for emergency. Blackout boxes will be delivered this week. Our experience was simply incredible! GLWD knew exactly how to operate effectively, and we had so much fun meeting new people, while packing boxes.

Stephen Covello and Kate Suhr are compelling, intentional, and dynamic leaders that positively impacted each of us during our Volunteer Service Day. Fresh Connections will absolutely continue to partner with God's Love We Deliver!

Special thanks to Fresh Leaders-Mark Horsburgh, Luke McGee, and Alexa Silverman for leading such a strong weekend of philanthropy and service!
