Feeding South Florida — the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida — on May 29 revealed the winning artwork for its “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition at Booker T. Washington High School.
Nazarena Capdevila, a 12th-grade student at Booker T. Washington Senior High School, was named the winner of its sixth annual “Feed Your Creativity” art competition.
Elementary, middle and high school students throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties were invited to submit artwork for the competition. Capdevila’s artwork now is displayed on one of Feeding South Florida’s semi-trailer truck wraps – a 36-foot moving billboard that travels throughout South Florida.
The art competition is part of Feeding South Florida’s “Summer Hunger Ends Here” initiative, designed to raise awareness and funds necessary to address summer hunger for kids in South Florida. It aims to engage students, their parents, teachers and schools in a critical issue, while also recognizing the creative talent in the South Florida community.
Summer months are some of the most difficult times for South Florida families because children don’t have access to free or reduced-price school meals when school is not in session. In South Florida, more than 300,000 kids rely on free or reduced meals during the school year.
Seeking to help fill the void of school meals, Feeding South Florida is a sponsor of the USDA Summer Food Service Program, providing meals to kids at Summer BreakSpots, pop-up pantries in low-income communities. Feeding South Florida also assists families at its Community Caring Centers, food pantries, along with other services at both of its warehouses in Pembroke Park in Broward County and Boynton Beach in Palm Beach County.
