“When I first heard about Lovin’ Spoonfuls, the concept just made sense to me on so many levels,” said Youniss. “The organization is extremely effective at bridging the gap between organizations with an abundance of food on one hand, and those in need of food on the other.

At Lovin’ Spoonfuls, everyone makes their work personal and cares about making our city, our community, and our world a better place. It is infectious, and you can’t help but want to support them.”
