Mama's Kitchen would like to give a huge shout out

Mama's Kitchen would like to give a huge shout out to Tom Napoli, Founder of @tfaforg Foundation, Ryan Sinnott, bass guitarist from @thedistillers and Tommy Ewing, Marketing Clerk II from @jimbosnaturally. Ryan sold one of his awesome guitars and donated funds to Mama's Kitchen to purchase food for our clients. Tom and Tommy worked together to coordinate the logistics of getting 5 cases (178 lbs worth) of fresh, delicious fruits from Jimbo's to Mama's Kitchen. What an amazing gesture for our clients' healthy meals!
.
.
But the story doesn't end there. Jimbo was so thrilled by Ryan's and Tom's gesture, that he offered to match the donation! So Mama's Kitchen will be receiving another 5 cases of produce this week, compliments of Jimbo's and delivered by Tom.
.
.
We are grateful for their generosity and dedication! Thank you for taking care of our neighbors who are critically ill.
