Florida Food Products and Soldiers' Angels Unite to Combat Food Insecurity for Veterans and Armed Forces Families

Florida Food Products Teams Up with Soldiers' Angels

In a significant move to uplift military families and veterans confronting food insecurity, Florida Food Products (FFP) has announced a strategic partnership with Soldiers' Angels, a prominent nonprofit organization. This initiative aims to provide vital nutritional support to those who have served the country and their families.

The pressing need for reliable food access in military circles has been underscored by a recent study revealing that about 15.4% of active-duty personnel face low food security. Such a situation limits their access to adequate nutrition necessary for a healthy life. Addressing this alarming trend, FFP joins hands with Soldiers' Angels to ensure veterans and military families receive the food resources they need.

A Partnership Rooted in Gratitude
Vince Macciocchi, CEO of FFP, articulated the company's commitment to nourishment extends beyond their products. "We believe in the power of nourishment—not just through the food and beverages we help create, but through the support we extend to our communities," he stated. This partnership is portrayed as a gesture of gratitude towards service members and veterans who have made significant sacrifices for the nation.

The collaboration officially kicks off on August 15, 2025, at a food distribution event at the Lake Baldwin VA Clinic in Orlando, Florida. During this initiative, volunteers from both organizations will deliver healthy food packages to pre-registered military families and veterans. This marks the beginning of a sustained effort to improve food access among military households, particularly in and around Orlando, where FFP operates.

Empowerment Through Collaboration
Amy Palmer, president and CEO of Soldiers' Angels, emphasized the significance of FFP’s partnership, stating, "Welcoming FFP as a partner strengthens our efforts to address food insecurity among military families." This collaboration aims to broaden the reach of Soldiers' Angels, ensuring that more veterans and military families can access essential nutrition.

The personal connection to the mission is strong within FFP, highlighted by Jillian Hermanowicz, VP of marketing and communications at the company, who shared her background as a spouse of an active-duty USMC combat veteran. She articulated the deep understanding within FFP regarding the sacrifices military families make and how this partnership resonates on a personal level for many employees.
