""My mom inspired it. Growing up, I saw firsthand how she gave back to the community despite being a single mom of four boys. And it kind of resonated with me there. It stuck with me and is still with me today.""
""If you have something to look forward to, something to wake up to, your health kind of improves as a result of it...The menu is varied so it doesn't repeat. Getting that free of cost for seniors, what it does is it allows us to focus more on the quality of the program.""
Mark Wainwright's nonprofit, "It Takes A Village To Feed One Child," supplies consistent food to local organizations, including day care centers. With state funding, the initiative serves over 200,000 meals monthly. Wainwright's inspiration comes from his mother, who gave back to the community as a single mom. Penn Village Adult Day Care benefits from this service, allowing them to focus on program quality while providing varied meals free of cost to seniors, which positively impacts their health and well-being.
