Florida's Fresh Mix

The holiday season brings lots of cheers, and for some, lots of jeers. Buying gifts and visiting relatives can be burdensome and downright stressful. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle that comes with December, so those who are less fortunate are often overlooked. Today's guest seeks those who society typically labels "forgettable." Umberto Rosi is the co-founder of The Give Back Community, a nonprofit organization that focuses on revitalizing people who are experiencing homelessness. Every Friday night, Umberto and his team of fellow college students hit the streets of Downtown West Palm Beach to serve free food and provide helpful resources to people who need it the most. Umberto and Gerard discuss the juxtaposition of the wealthy elite in Palm Beach and people living on the streets. He also tells Gerard how his inspiration for developing this organization began in his hometown of Rome, Italy. Listen in and learn something new today.
