Our Daily Bread Food Pantry (ODBFP) is excited to announce Tamiami Ford, Hyundai and Genesis of Naples as major sponsors for the Second Annual Rhinestone Rodeo, taking place on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at the Island Country Club in Marco Island. Tamiami Ford, Hyundai and Genesis of Naples are playing a key role as an exclusive partner in this signature fundraising event, which promises to be a night of music, auctions, and community spirit, all in support of ODBFP’s efforts to combat hunger in the local area. Reflecting on the event, Evelyn Rossetti-Ryan, EdD Executive Director of ODBFP, expressed her enthusiasm for the involvement of Tamiami Ford, Hyundai and Genesis of Naples.
“We are grateful to Tamiami Ford, Hyundai and Genesis of Naples for their outstanding support. Their generous sponsorship will directly contribute to our food distribution programs, allowing us to continue serving families in need throughout southern Collier County.”
Rev. Sheila Zellers, Vice President of Genesis of Naples, shared her personal connection to the work being done by ODBFP. “As someone who grew up in Naples Manor and graduated from Avalon East Naples Lely High School, it fills my heart with immense joy to help these areas and support the incredible impact Our Daily Bread Food Pantry is making in our community, especially now with their mobile pantry outreach in East Naples. Knowing that families in my own childhood neighborhood are being supported by such a caring and dedicated organization is truly a blessing. This is a powerful reminder that when we come together to serve, we can create lasting change and offer hope for a brighter future to everyone, just as I experienced.”
She also added, “I remember hearing my mama say, ‘Life should not be this hard.’ Growing up in Naples Manor in the early 1970s with six children to feed, we would have greatly benefited from a service like Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. Knowing what it feels like to be hungry, I am committed to giving back so that no one has to experience that struggle. It brings me great joy that our family can now help change the lives of children in my old neighborhood.”
All proceeds from the event will support ODBFP’s mission of providing nutritious food to families facing food insecurity. Since the beginning of 2024, ODBFP has seen unprecedented growth, serving over 1,000 households each week during their Saturday morning food distribution.
