> Friends,
> 
> I am glad to announce that the upcoming Farm Share Free Food Distribution Event on May 2 will be able to serve 1,000 families – up from the 500+ served on April 25th.
> 
> In these extraordinary times, it is gratifying that we are able to double the number of families we will be able to help.  While it was incredibly rewarding to meet and help those we assisted last Saturday, it was heartbreaking to have to turn away so many more in need.  I am so grateful to Farm Share for stepping up in this way.
> 
> This week’s free food distribution will start at 10AM at my office at 2539 Palm Bay Road NE in Palm Bay.  It is first-come, first-served and being done drive-through only.  One set of food provided per vehicle while supplies last.
> 
> On April 20th, my birthday, I announced that I would be donating the entirety of my April legislative salary to Farm Share, a statewide non-profit focused on distributing fresh food to needy Floridians. Normally, a birthday is a happy time, with parties and presents and laughter and fun. But we are living in a time in which so many of our fellow Floridians are worried about how to put food on the table, how to teach their children, how to not catch this unique virus.
> 
> I'm lucky -- my family is safe at home, and we are blessed to be financially secure. So for this birthday, it felt wrong to take when there are so many to whom I could give.
> 
> So my present to myself was to donate my entire April legislative salary to Farm Share. And my present to those I serve is that working with Farm Share, we will be able to do FIVE free Farm Share food distribution events in May -- on May 2, 7, 14, 21, and 29.
> 
> None of us can save the world by ourselves, but if each of us who can does our part, we can do what Americans have always done in times of crisis -- rise together.
