In an effort to replicate the same impact made at Miami Area Command to the surrounding community, Lunch and Love was developed by David Jenett, Case Worker and Emergency Disaster Services Coordinator.

With the use of the FedEx Cares Emergency Disaster Services Canteen, David and his team were able to serve 150 meals and 50 snack packs to people experiencing homelessness located within the Government Center and North Miami area of Miami-Dade.

David had one thought in mind: it’s necessary and it’s impactful,

-Not everyone is able to migrate to the church so, why not bring the assistance to them? Despite the rainy conditions, the team dedicated nearly four hours of service, with the assistance of Terrance McCray and Susi Goihman.

A day filled with love, service, and gratitude would not have been possible without them and their efforts were a big success.

The program will take place once a month throughout Miami-Dade, with the goal of becoming a regular service. The team hopes to make Lunch and Love a bi-weekly effort.
