Yummy in my Tummy is a volunteer group through USF’s Bulls Service Break. March 12th through 20th we are spending our spring break in Washington, DC serving food to people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging diseases through the organization Food & Friends.
Reverend Carla Gorrell founded Food & Friends in 1988 when a friend, sick at home with AIDS, needed something to eat. What began as lunch for one has become 3 meals a day, for more than 1,450 individuals, six days a week. Over the past two decades, we have moved from a cramped church basement to our own state-of-the-art kitchen and pantry facility and initiated new programs to meet the changing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS and other life-challenging illnesses in the Washington, DC, metropolitan community.
My name is Sandra Galusic and I am a participant of BSB 2011. I am a junior and a Biology major. I am a student assistant in the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement and a strong believer in the importance of volunteering as a part of a proper college education.
