Close Up with Joe Livecchi: Chris Sloan on transformation through tragedy
“I was inspired by how America’s Most Wanted host and producer John Walsh managed to turn his own tragedy with the kidnapping and death of his son into a movement that helped so many,” he continues. “My wife Carla and I vowed then to use the Mr. Awesome platform to do something to make sure our son’s name would be synonymous with giving and his story would last a lifetime.”
We Have The Need To Feed South Florida!
“There’s no limit to what a man can accomplish if he doesn’t care who gets the credit.
This and similar statements have been attributed to President Harry Truman and others, but likely originated more than a century ago with a Jesuit priest.”
Either way, it’s an appropriate sentiment for the group effort that will feed the hungry from 9 a.m. to noon this Thursday, May 14 at Key West City Hall, 1300 White St. in the rear parking lot.
Farm Share is teaming up with Caleb and Calder Sloan’s Awesome Foundation, Pirate Radio and the City of Key West to host a drive-thru food distribution to support Florida Keys residents who are facing food insecurities during the coronavirus pandemic.”
