Julia's warmth and passion is evident the first time you meet her and since the start of the pandemic she and her family have put that passion to work for their community. When the pandemic hit Julia made the best of a tough situation: "when we were suddenly locked down the first time, we were left with a fridge full of food. What better way to utilize that food than by feeding families in need. From that day forward, RitornoGives was born. Food insecurity was going to be one of the greatest challenges that Covid would bring to us. Through generous donations we will continue to feed our community." Since February Julia and her sons, Matthew, Alex and John Paul have cooked, packaged and delivered over 3000 meals to groups in our community. Including essential workers, as well as, over 1000 meals for Kerr Street Mission clients. Thank you Julia and family for giving back so generously, your meals not only feed hunger but feed the need for kindness and community we're all longing for.
