Taste The Impact - Immakolee, FL
Once again, we would like to thank your organization for supporting our mission. Thanks to your generosity and support, we have IMPACTED many young lives and provided them with the skills and hands-on experience needed to be successful in their career paths. For the 2021-2022 school year, we served 130 students and provided 22 paid work-base internships to high school students. For many of these students, our internship not only provided them with their first job, but allowed them to help their families financially."

We thank them for their support of our local youths, and look forward to working with John, Major Ed , and the rest of the foundation for many years to come.”

"Doing What I Can is a grass roots organization that is providing a meal and some basic supplies to our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness in central Oklahoma every Sunday afternoon. Doing What I Can was honored to receive our first grant from JDME. With the money we received we were able to make over 400 lunches to share on the streets.

I am extremely grateful for John Daily and Major Ed and the commitment they have made in helping others."
