Giving Tuesday was a celebration of service for the 20 GL Homes employees who volunteered at Feeding South Florida in Boynton Beach. Our team, who traveled as far away as Broward County and the Treasure Coast to participate, boxed 2,304 prepared meals and prepped over 300 boxes for additional meal packing for Feeding South Florida.
Those healthy, nutritionally-dense, ready-to-eat dinners were delivered that same day to homebound seniors in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. Feeding South Florida delivers eight meals at a time to seniors. These meals can be frozen and microwaved for easy access.
Nationwide, Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages people to do good and give back. Created in 2012, it is a day that counters the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Feeding South Florida nourishes families, unites the community around hunger and poverty issues, and helps families achieve household stability.
