About This Cause
One Heart strives to alleviate hunger and build a healthier community by successfully meeting the urgent need for food by increasing access and food procurement for those in need. One Heart collaborates with local organizations, schools, healthcare providers, and government agencies to create a comprehensive safety net. Yet our commitment transcends mere food provision. We specialize in life coaching and facilitating access to crucial resources. By addressing immediate needs and providing guidance for long-term stability, we empower individuals and families to navigate transitions effectively and, thus, thrive. The Food pantry and outreach allow us to meet and interact with each person, connect them with resources, build trust and relationships, learn their story, and discover what barriers each may face in moving their life forward. (We assist with SNAP, WIC, job search, clothing, household goods, bus passes, and referrals to other social service agencies). This approach allows us to impact the root causes of a family's struggle. We prioritize equity by addressing racial disparities in food access. This involves understanding historical and structural factors that contribute to hunger and mandates that we focus on food deserts and populations that have historically faced food shortages. One Heart distributes food packages to families with dignity and equity as a top priority. Each family receives the same healthy foods, and the quantity of each package depends on the family size. One Heart supports local agriculture by partnering with 4Roots and local farms. We encourage sustainable food systems by sourcing from local farmers and promoting community gardens. One Heart's outreach events provide opportunities for staff and volunteers to serve the community's thousands of homeless and working poor. Food giveaway events are held at locations such as Camping World Stadium, schools, churches, local neighborhood centers, and city parks. Kid-friendly events like "Oh in the Snow" at Lockhaven Park, movie nights, Orlando Magic Nights, and an Easter run are organized. These events attract thousands of children who receive fresh fruits and veggies while participating. This strengthens our local economy and reduces reliance on consumer supply chains. We reduce food waste by collaborating with grocery stores, restaurants, and food producers. Gleaning surplus crops helps feed our community while reducing waste. Beyond distributing food, our organization is developing programming focused on nutrition education. Teaching recipients will teach them how to prepare healthy meals and make informed choices that are essential for long-term well-being. Food brings people together. Our pantry, multi-faceted outreach, and Large Monthly Food Giveaway efforts remain consistent with our desire to fill Orlando’s gaps in social protection, aid in our community’s economic mobility, and LOVE people, ONE HEART at a time.
