Life. Celebrated Daily.

Life. Celebrated Daily. This is the motto for beautiful Norfolk, Virginia. There are rumors City Council wants to change the motto to something more current, but I do not agree. As I made my rounds today, encouraging the employees and restaurants, I saw the celebration of life. Such a diverse group of people working toward a common goal: easing hunger in our region. And it is a celebration --we recognize and value the lives of those around us who are less fortunate. Above, the staff of Dog-n-Burger takes a break from the bustling lunch crowd to give me some smiles!

Reed and Glenn are loyal friends to Charlie's Cafe, and they both have given generously to the food drive. Thanks guys!

Doumars is the home of the original waffle cone. It is also the home of some amazing people! This small diner on Monticello Avenue was the largest donor last year. Go, Doumars! Go! Let's see you win it again!

Don Shula is probably proud of his 347 wins in major league football, but he should be proud of these amazing ladies who have worked so hard for the Foodbank!

At Snappers on Granby, you can pick from a wonderful selection of fine wines. While sipping that aged Cabernet, you might notice the staff putting some canned goods into an empty wine box.

Over at Tabbs in Riverview, these girls serve up a double-whammy! Beautiful on the outside, but so much more inner beauty, too. Thank you!

Becca and the Christmas tree both represent the spirit of giving found at Tanners Creek.

Johnny, General Manager of Trilogy Bistro, awaits the theater crowd who will jam the place in just an hour or so. Quick Johnny! Put on your tie and coat! And thank you to your staff who have donated so much!
