Race to Deliver

Recently, I had the great opportunity to participate in an amazing charity run. When I was in High School I was first introduced to a wonderful nonprofit organization called God’s Love We Deliver. Not knowing much about seeking volunteer work and new to different opportunity available in the city, I was excited to get started. The first projects involved decorating holiday food “bags” used in the distribution of food to people who are too sick to cook. At that time, I understood that people were given meal and that our decorated bags would give them a sense of personal connection to the food they were receiving as apposed to the anonymous plain white bags. Although decorating bags was a good introduction to the organization, I felt there was more to do. Soon, I found myself preparing food and helping with morning pack-outs. I ultimately felt closer and more connected with the service being provided, being on location and feeling the energy and the passion God’s Love staff and volunteers had to offer. To me it a one step closer to the great mission of the foundation: To improve the health and well-being of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses by alleviating hunger and malnutrition.

When I found out that I would be in the country for the annual Race to Deliver, I knew I had another chance to be a part of sharing and spreading the organization’s mission alongside thousand of other passionate staff, volunteers, supporters and new supporters. This year, I wanted my family to get involved as well, so I recruited my parents to join in the fabulous run/walk/stroll through New York’s Central Park. The 4mile course proved to be a great family event; excited men, women and children united to raise money and more importantly raise awareness for such a great organization.

For those wondering why we finished the 4 mile run in 1hour and 15 minutes… I have to admit we actual walked really slow. Big thanks to my parents and girlfriend for participating in a fun filled day and supporting God’s Love!
