💜 At CFFEIM, our mission goes beyond supporting those with a cancer diagnosis. While we remain dedicated to nourishing families affected by cancer, we also believe in caring for the entire community—including those who may not be facing a health crisis. 🌍✨
Recently, we gathered our incredible volunteers and participants for a shared dinner—not just as a thank-you, but as a chance to introduce a delicious, healthy meal that proves you can eat well and enjoy it! 🥗🍠😋
Because feeding people is about more than food—it’s about education, empowerment, and showing love through every plate we serve. 💪🏽🍴❤️

🩸🍽️ 5 Years of Impact, and We're Just Getting Started!

For the fifth year, the Center for Food Equity in Medicine proudly partnered with the Kristin Arielle Oliver Memorial Blood Drive team to host our annual Blood & Food Drive—a powerful day of giving, remembrance, and community. 💜

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we welcomed 21 participants and collected 19 pints of blood—and since just one pint can save up to three lives, that’s nearly 60 lives potentially impacted in a single afternoon! 🙌

We’re beyond grateful for everyone who rolled up a sleeve, dropped off food, or simply showed up in support. 💪🏽

We can't wait to do it all again for Do Good Weekend 2025—because together, we truly make a difference.

#TBT: Do Good Weekend – A Huge Success! 🎉
“When a community comes together, incredible things happen!”

Our Do Good Weekend was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together! From a blood drive, a charity fundraiser, and a food drive in honor of MLK Weekend, we saw firsthand the generosity and compassion of our supporters. ❤️

To top it all off, we closed the weekend with a special CFFEIM team dinner, celebrating another impactful year of service and community care. 🍽️✨

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and showed up. Because of you, lives were touched, meals were shared, and hope was spread. Let’s carry this momentum into February! 💪

The holiday season is often filled with joy, family, and celebration, but for some, it can also be a time of quiet pain, loss, or struggle. 💔

Take a moment to check in on your loved ones, friends, and neighbors. A simple phone call, text, or visit can mean the world to someone who feels overlooked. Let’s make sure no one feels alone this season. 💙
