Hello Neighbors,
How are you doing in this summer heat? Water seems to be the best remedy. Whether you're drinking it or in it, it sure feels good. If you have any tips for staying cool, we'd love to have you share them on our social media, or send us an email. We will use them in our August Cause An Effect.
Please remember to always keep an eye on kids near the water, wear sunscreen, and never leave anything living in your car when you get out.
This month's Partner spotlight is a little different. It's an open letter from me to the Founder of Farm Share, Patricia Robbins. She is retiring from her role as CEO/President and will remain as a Senior Advisor to the Board. She's a Goddess.
Lynne Cameron
Executive Director

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
OPEN LETTER TO PATRICIA ROBBINS OF FARM SHARE
Dearest Patricia,
On behalf of the entire Neighbors 4 Neighbors staff and Board of Directors, I write to thank you for our 26-year partnership with Farm Share. Together we have responded to feed survivors of hurricanes throughout Florida, fed thousands of our hungry South Florida neighbors every month, and earlier this year, distributed fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, and shelf stable products to 1,000 furloughed government workers and their families.
Farm Share is the result of a woman, who in 1992 put vision and
 common sense together. Who else would have seen farmers crushing and sending perfectly good vegetables to landfills and said to herself, "I'm going to capture these and feed the hungry"? Farmers became your new best friends, and you distributed fresh fruit
s and vegetables
to the hungry from the trunk of your car. But, you didn't stop there. Determination took you to Tallahassee where you fought for USDA food and the support you needed to expand throughout Florida. You certainly proved yourself a force to be reckoned with and earned the respect of legislators and the Farming community, throughout the State of Florida. You are a treasure. You never say no when presented with a complicated opportunity that can help people. When Delivering Good offered thousands of pairs of Sketchers shoes and socks for
Hurricane Irma survivors, you did not hesitate to accept the shipment and get them into the Florida Keys. I can still see the smiles on those kid's faces.
As you retire from your role as CEO/President and continue as a Senior Advisor to the Board, I look forward to continuing our collaboration and friendship. I recently saw a Farm Share statistic that the total food recovered since inception is 588,551,068 pounds with a value of $1,029,964,369. What a legacy. What a woman.
With admiration and gratitude,
