Uniting with One Heart for Women and Children for a Mobile Food Drop in Orlando, Florida

Across the United States, millions of families are unable to make ends meet and live below the poverty line. These families often struggle to meet basic needs like food, housing, and healthcare. Limited financial resources can lead to inadequate education and employment opportunities, perpetuating a cycle of poverty. Help is crucial to break this cycle, providing essential support such as food assistance, affordable shelter, and access to education. Fortunately, some organizations are committed to providing aid and support to the millions of families who undergo such hardships.

Earlier this week, employee volunteers from Suburban Propane’s Orlando, Florida customer service center united with One Heart for Women and Children, to assist with the packing and distribution of food through a mobile food drop, impacting over 1,000 families in the Orlando region.

The goal of One Heart for Women and Children is to offer essential support to families facing challenges as they navigate and conquer the difficulties of everyday life in the Central Florida region. The organization collaborates with numerous local resources in the area to inform, empower, and guide these families.

With over 20% of families in the Orlando area living below the poverty line, One Heart for Women and Children not only provides aid but offers programs aimed to empower these families, offering a lifeline to escape the challenges of poverty, fostering self-sufficiency and improved well-being for a more sustainable future.

“One Heart for Women and Children is here to help people feel seen, valued, and heard through the gift of healthy food in times of transition, and we are grateful to Suburban Propane for their support,” said Stephanie Bowman, Executive Director, One Heart for Women and Children.

Suburban Propane’s contribution helped purchase, assemble, and distribute food boxes for over 1,000 people in need throughout the Central Florida region. This endeavor is a component of Suburban Propane’s community-giving initiative known as SuburbanCares® which focuses on supporting the communities where the Company is present across 42 states.
