Joshuas Heart Junior Advisory Board Member and
Graduating Senior Mary Logan, demonstrates what
it truly means to care for your fellow man
1888 Press Release - Youth volunteer takes center
stage during National Hunger Awareness Month.
This Ransom Everglades Senior led the way one
last time in her role at the youth run
organization before her 2022 graduation. Miami,
FL - Mary Logan has served as a Junior Advisory
Board Member (JAB) of Joshuas Heart Foundation
since she was in the sixth grade. The Ransom
Everglades High School Senior has taken her
philanthropic duty to heart over the years by
championing and spearheading multiple food
distributions for Joshuas Heart through the
support of the organization, various sponsors,
and her family. Many people see the pandemic as
a catalyst that bore poverty and food insecurity
in communities that are considered middle class.
However, Mary Logan understands and has seen
first-hand, for years now, the long arm of
poverty and how it devastates families and
communities worldwide. Being a Junior Advisory
Board Member of Joshuas Heart Foundation has
allowed young people to exercise kindness and
generosity to the less fortunate for over sixteen
years. Each fall Logan leads a food distribution
project in Miami-Dade County to give hope to
families that experience food insecurity
year-round. This year was no different. However,
for the Ransom Everglades senior, this project
has special meaning to her, as it would be one of
her last distributions before graduating and
moving on to the next phase of life, higher
education. Amid this pandemic, COVID-19 has
created a food crisis unlike any other natural
disaster in recent years. Without wavering or
second thought, Mary Logan, galvanized her
supporters, including family, friends and the
Joshuas Heart volunteers to make this food
distribution at the Macedonia Missionary Baptist
Church of Miami one of the best shows of love and
support for a community of strangers ever.

The distribution was made possible through the
partnership between Joshuas Heart Foundation and
Farm Share, with the support of the Logan Family,
Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, The Office
of Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County,
State Representative Nick Duran, Commissioner Ken
Russell, SEIU Local 1991 Jackson Nurses, Doctors
and Healthcare Professionals, TUCCI, The City of
Miami Police and Ransom Everglades Alumni
Association REach Too, and Ransom Everglades
School and HealthcaRE Club. In two hours, the
team distributed food and Personal Care Items to
340 families at a DRIVE-THROUGH Distribution that
strictly followed all COVID-19 protocols. The
church, located at 3515 Douglas Road in the heart
of Coconut Groove, was transformed into a
well-organized hub where families collected much
needed food and other items with dignity, no
matter their walk of life. As Mary transitions
to college life, she plans to continue to be of
service to the less fortunate no matter what
school she chooses. I hope my service sets a
good example to my fellow Joshuas Heart
volunteers and upcoming JAB members to continue
serving the people of Miami-Dade County who
suffer the most not only during the pandemic but
afterwards as well, said Logan. Hunger and food
insecurity did not start with COVID and will
continue when we emerge from this pandemic. Mary
Logan and Joshuas Heart urges you to support
their efforts to end hunger and poverty. You can
begin right here at home the need is
great. EndHunger EndPoverty JoshuasHeart
