RE community comes out for MLK Day of Service
Ransom Everglades students, parents, alumni and professional community members participated in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service with the Joshua's Heart Foundation on January 19, showing RE's core values in action by distributing food and household supplies to Miami families. The collaboration with the service organization founded by Joshua Williams '18 allowed RE to help 1,470 individuals, 342 families and 715 children.
The event was organized by RE Director of Community Engagement Wendell Graham '74 in partnership with Claudia McLean, mother of Joshua and Joshua's Heart Foundation Executive Director. Natalia Andrade '29 provided instructions – and encouragement – to volunteers before they got to work. Members of the RE community helped assemble the goods for distribution on a series of tables in the parking lot of a shopping mall in North Miami, then passed out the items to individuals and families who had lined up for more than an hour before the event's opening.
RE has partnered previously with the Joshua's Heart Foundation on other service efforts to address food insecurity.
