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 Joshua’s 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 Joshua’s 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 Joshua’s 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
Joshua’s 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.

2. The distribution was made possible through the partnership between Joshua’s 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 Joshua’s 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 Joshua’s Heart urges you to support
their efforts to end hunger and poverty. You can begin right here at home; the need is great.
