Letter from the President: Summer 2024

Dear Friend,Rick Gaupo, Marion Polk Food Share President

Welcome to the Summer 2024 edition of the Harvester, where we continue to celebrate the remarkable resilience and profound community spirit that defines our work together. In this issue, we are thrilled to share three inspiring tales of individuals who have not only overcome adversity, but have also turned their experiences into opportunities for growth and outreach.

Each story is a unique testament to the strength and resolve that grows when supported by a network of care and commitment. From Nikki’s journey of rediscovery in the face of life-altering challenges to Jill’s transformative embrace of healthy living that rippled throughout her family and community. These narratives highlight the power of support and the importance of access to nutritious food and vibrant community spaces.

Your support, through volunteering, donating, or simply sharing these stories of hope and perseverance, sows seeds of change that grow into a healthier, more resilient community. Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

Rick Gaupo
