Lester Dominguez, Co-founder says “The main goal of At Heart’s Length’s food drive is to feed local families as well as educate the community. We believe it is very important for all those involved in the food drive process to be informed about the problem of hunger in their community, as well as the services provided by the location receiving the donations.”
