United Way Broward has received a significant $300,000 grant from The Jim Moran Foundation to bolster Project Lifeline, a vital hunger-relief initiative. This funding will enable the distribution of fresh and shelf-stable foods to local food banks across Broward County, addressing the critical issue of food insecurity that affects over half a million people annually in the region.
A Lifeline for Families
The substantial grant from The Jim Moran Foundation is a crucial boost for Project Lifeline, a program dedicated to ensuring that families in need have access to nutritious food. This initiative goes beyond simply distributing groceries; it aims to provide dignity and support to those struggling with rising costs and economic uncertainty. The partnership between United Way Broward and The Jim Moran Foundation has been ongoing, with the latter contributing over $3 million since Project Lifeline’s inception in 2009.
Impact and Compassion
Over the years, The Jim Moran Foundation’s investment has facilitated the distribution of more than one million pounds of healthy food annually throughout Broward County. This highlights the immense scale of need and the significant impact of the program. Project Lifeline’s commitment extends to providing recipe cards alongside the food, empowering families to create wholesome meals from the ingredients they receive, thereby nourishing both body and spirit.
A Legacy of Giving
This latest grant from The Jim Moran Foundation aligns with its long-standing mission to strengthen families and communities across Florida. With a history of investing over $290 million in various support programs, the Foundation continues to build upon the philanthropic legacy established by its founder, automotive pioneer Jim Moran.
