South Florida Kia Dealers, Together With Key Miami-area Partners, Collectively Donate $380,000 to Feeding South Florida
South Florida Kia Dealers, in partnership with Miami HEAT, Miami Dolphins, and JM FamilyEnterprises and JM&A Group are proud to announce a $380,000 collective donation to Feeding South Florida – the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida.
To highlight the impact of this donation, representatives from the organizations presented Feeding South Florida President and CEO Paco Vélez with a check on Thursday, Dec. 19, at Feeding South Florida’s Pembroke Park warehouse. Representatives from South Florida Kia Dealers, Miami HEAT, Miami Dolphins, and JM Family Enterprises and JM&A Group were in attendance at the event.
The South Florida Kia Dealers donation portion of $150,000, made as part of Kia’s “Accelerate the Good” charitable initiative, marks the largest single gift from an automotive dealership to Feeding South Florida. Since 2019, Kia’s “Accelerate the Good” program has donated more than $30 million to support those in need, both through national campaigns and local partnerships. JM Family Enterprises and subsidiary company JM&A Group are donating $100,000. The remaining $130,000 is thanks to the generosity of the Miami Dolphins and the Miami HEAT.
Feeding South Florida serves food-insecure individuals across its quad-county region, including children, seniors, veterans, and single parents. For every $1 donated, the organization provides four nutritious meals to those in need. This contribution will help expand vital services such as food distribution, home delivery programs and innovative initiatives like the Mobile FARMacy and culinary training programs. This contribution will support Feeding South Florida’s mission to end hunger in the community by providing immediate access to nutritious food, innovative programming, and advocacy efforts.
