Legacy of Leaders is our annual celebration of the people whose service and generosity strengthen our community. Each year, Foodies Care honors volunteers and nonprofit leaders across Northeast Florida who give their time and leadership to organizations working to address hunger and homelessness.
Honorees are put forward by the people who see their work first hand: colleagues, neighbors, and the organizations they serve. Volunteer honorees direct a grant to the nonprofit where they volunteer, and nonprofit leadership honorees receive a grant for their organization. Every honoree is recognized with an award and celebrated alongside their peers.
