Motivation

---

As a child, though I was not food insecure, it used to be very hard for me to concentrate or focus whenever my meals were not on time. 

Although the global pandemic has shined a light on food insecurity, reality is, food insecurity was a problem before the pandemic and will likely continue to be an ongoing problem and I think all of us should come together and do whatever is possible to address this sad and challenging situation.

Our county (Delaware), which is one of Ohio's most prosperous counties, has children who are food insecure and no matter the reasons, food insecurity could create a mindset that could potentially impact a child’s view of our communities and our beautiful world. In the spirit of giving back to my community and to play a small role in the fight against hunger & food insecurity, I have started this charitable organization (in 2020) focused on enabling food security for the children of our county.

Taking the first step is always hard, but if I stay focused, I am positive, I can realize the vision for the foundation.
