Kicking off its annual Food-a-Thon, Flagler Radio hosted Food Truck Palooza on Saturday, March 8, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. The event raised $2,000 to benefit the church and the Grace Community Food Pantry.
With the connections of Grace's leader, Charles Silano, that's enough to buy $10,000 worth of food. Grace serves 6,500 local families every month, at the end of Education Way, off U.S. 1.
The Food-a-Thon continues with a radio fundraiser in October. The event has raised $1.5 million in the past three years for Grace Community Food Pantry.
On Flagler Radio's "Free For All Friday" on March 7, Pastor Charles Silano said giving is part of who we are as human beings.
"It's like the Bible says: 'It's more blessed to give than to receive,'" he said. "We're created that way. It's in our nature."
He praised those who have given in the past. "When Flagler County has a need, Flagler County residents respond."
On the radio show, Silano was joined by Teri Kennelly, who has been serving the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Outreach for the past 19 years.
