FLIPANY's Chefs Up Front raises funds so kids and seniors in underserved South Florida communities can access nutritious food, nutrition education, and the kind of healthy start every child deserves — no matter their zip code. 🤝 Sponsorship packages start at $1,000 and go up to $25,000, with benefits including: • Brand visibility on Step & Repeat and all event materials • Event program ads • Social media features • Live stage recognition • And the knowledge that your dollars directly fund healthy meals and cooking education for hundreds of kids Sponsorship opportunities are limited — and the Chef-Owner presenting sponsorship is already SOLD. 📩 Ready to get your brand at the table?

May is National Bike Month, and at FLIPANY, we're celebrating in the best way we know how — by riding our bikes together. Biking is one of the cornerstone physical activities in FLIPANY's mentored movement programming. We use cycling to teach South Florida youth about health, resilience, and the confidence that comes from mastering a new skill. But authentic teaching starts with authentic passion. Our staff aren't just instructors — they're riders. Whether it's a group ride at the trail or helping a young person change their first flat tire, our team leads by example every single day. When kids see the adults in their lives genuinely love being active, it changes everything. This May, we invite you to join us in celebrating. Ride your bike. Share the joy. And if you believe every child deserves access to healthy, active living — consider supporting FLIPANY's mission. 💙 https://flipany.org #NationalBikeMonth #FLIPANY #YouthDevelopment #ActiveLiving #SouthFlorida #MentoredMovement #BikeMonth2026

Across Florida, many children rely on school meals — and when summer arrives, that access disappears. FLIPANY’s summer meals program bridges the gap by providing free, healthy meals to kids all summer long. We’re currently seeking partners and host sites such as: • Schools & camps • Community organizations • Housing communities • Youth programs • Parks & recreation centers If your organization is committed to strengthening child wellness and food security, we would love to collaborate. Together, we can ensure every child has the nutrition they need to thrive. 📩 Connect with us to explore partnership opportunities. #SummerMeals #ChildNutrition #FoodSecurity #CommunityImpact #MiamiDade #Broward #PalmBeach #FLIPANY
This summer, access matters. Opportunity matters. And for thousands of children across our community… a simple meal matters more than we realize. We’re proud to kick off our Summer Meals Program, ensuring that when school is out, nutrition is still within reach. Because hunger doesn’t take a summer break—and neither do we. If you’re a community partner, organization, or site looking to make an impact this summer, we at FLIPANY would love to connect. It takes a village—and we’re building one meal at a time. Let’s make this a summer where no child is left behind. #SummerMeals #EndChildHunger #FoodAccess #CommunityImpact #NonprofitWork #PublicHealth #SummerPrograms #MiamiDade #Broward #PalmBeach #ServeWithPurpose #FoodSecurity #MakeAnImpact

This holiday season, FLIPANY stepped in when families needed support the most. 💙 With SNAP delays creating an added burden for many households already facing food insecurity, we acted quickly to ensure families didn’t have to go without a meaningful holiday meal. Thanks to Peacock Foundation, Inc., a long-time funder of FLIPANY’s Healthy Meals Out of School program, and our trusted meals partner EZ Meals, FLIPANY distributed family-sized, re-heatable holiday meals across South Florida: 🎄 Branches Florida City | December 11 • 200 family meals, serving 800 people • Ham, carrots, mashed potatoes & dinner rolls • Children at Branches hand-made beautiful holiday cards to include with each meal—adding a personal touch that helped create lasting memories for families and volunteers alike 🦃 Charis – King Jesus Ministry, Miami | November 25 • 175 family meals, serving 700 people • Turkey breast & gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans & rolls One site partner shared: “The recipients were so happy—they truly considered it a blessing. People were suffering with nothing and were incredibly grateful to receive these meals, including walk-ups who were homeless.” This is what it looks like to show up for our communities—filling critical gaps, restoring dignity, and making sure families can gather around a warm holiday meal, even during uncertain times. 💙 Thank you to Peacock Foundation, Inc. and EZ Meals 2 Go, Inc. for helping FLIPANY bring nourishment, care, and holiday hope to 1,500 people across our community. #FLIPANY #HealthyMealsOutOfSchool #HolidayMeals #CommunityCare #FoodSecurity #EndingHunger #SNAPRelief #NonprofitImpact #SouthFlorida #Grateful #EmpoweringCommunitiesToThrive
