As proud chairs of the 2025 Southern New England Heart Ball, we at DiSanto, Priest & Co. are excited to kick off a meaningful initiative in the lead-up to the event. Throughout the month of September, we will be hosting a community-wide Heart Healthy Food Drive to support families across Rhode Island and highlight the importance of nutritious eating and food access.
The American Heart Association believes that everyone deserves the right to healthy food to live their best life. Yet far too many families face nutrition insecurity, meaning they lack consistent access to heart-healthy foods that support long-term well-being. Poor nutrition is linked to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, and we want to be part of the solution.
We invite your office to join us in this effort by hosting a Heart Healthy Food Drive at your workplace. Participating offices will receive:
- A collection box for donations
- Messaging and signage to share with staff about why this effort matters
This is a great way to engage your team, support your community, and be part of a movement that promotes health equity and access to nutritious food.
If you’re interested in participating, please email Lindsay Iadeluca at Lindsay.Iadeluca@heart.org, who will get everything set up for you.
Thank you for helping us make a difference, one meal, one family, and one community at a time.
