Keep it Positive, Sweetie · The Woman Behind The Mission · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

Like a senior because he could get a five dollar meal at our grocery store every day.

Like you can't do that at any other grocery store.

So it's like we have to be alive.

But it's hard.

It's hard to keep it going.

I think during the pandemic, I think 2020 was very telling, you know, on one day my business was, we were working heavily on getting the excess food from businesses and getting it out to nonprofits.

And the day that we went in quarantine, everybody stopped service.

So literally everybody, because they're just like, hey, we're going home.

We're going to cut it off.

So I'm knowing that we're not going to get paid.

We didn't get a PPP loan, all of that stuff.

We were too small of a company at the time.

But within a matter of a week, we had set up this whole fulfillment center at a school, hired 50 employees.

started getting donations from like Quality Control Music, Spanx, Sarah Blakely gave us $100,000, United Way gave us money to feed families, and we did it in like a week.

Like I was waking up at five, this is when I was an early morning girl, waking up at 5 a.m., going to Walmart, buying like 20 baskets of groceries, going to this school, putting them in boxes, having all these employees come and deliver them to the doors of people.

with masks on and like, you know, all this, like we had to get, I think we had to print out these things that we were like essential workers to keep in our dashboards to be out.

Like that's how serious it was.

And that was hard.

I mean, but we were feeding thousands and thousands of people and it was like, and we just did it within a matter of weeks.

It was just like, almost like panic.
