In 2012 while Gina was volunteering, at Riverview-VPK in Titusville, she saw first hand where children were not getting enough food to eat in the community. She set out to make a change.
Together with the help of dear friends she started providing food for the Holidays to 45 needy families.
By 2016 that grow to 500 registered families that received assistance weekly
