Our Daily Bread Food Pantry Receives Award from Hope Florida Fund

Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis awarded six Collier County nonprofit organizations with $10,000 each through the Hope Florida Fund. Recipients recognized by the First Lady were: Golden PAWS Assistance Dogs, St. Matthew's House, Project B.U.I.L.D., Baby Basics of Collier County, Trailways Camps, and Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. 

"As the Hope Florida initiative has expanded, we continue to identify ways to strengthen and grow our network of dedicated nonprofits across the state," said Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis. "Meeting the needs of Floridians is a collaborative effort. I am grateful for the opportunity to recognize the good work being done by these Collier County nonprofits and to support them in their efforts through the Hope Florida Fund."

"Our Daily Bread was honored to be among the six nonprofit organizations to be recognized by Casey DeSantis' Hope Florida initiative. The $10,000 award will go a long way in supporting Our Daily Bread Food Pantry's youth programs. We are very grateful to First Lady Casey DeSantis and the Hope Florida Fund for their generous investment in our work," shared Evelyn Rossetti-Ryan, Executive Director of Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. 

The First Lady launched the Hope Florida Fund in July 2022 to harness the charity of the private sector to give funds to deserving local nonprofit entities through her Hope Florida initiative. Today's award recipients serve children, families, veterans, and individuals with unique abilities through mentorship, material support, and educational programs.
