JM Family Enterprises and its subsidiary JM&A Group teamed up with Florida Kia Dealers and other Miami-area partners to spread hope this holiday season with a $380,000 collective donation to Feeding South Florida, the region’s leading hunger-relief organization.

JM Family Enterprises and its subsidiary company JM&A Group donated $100,000. South Florida Kia Dealers’ donation of $150,000 was made as part of Kia’s “Accelerate the Good” charitable initiative. The remaining $130,000 is thanks to the generosity of the Miami Dolphins and the Miami HEAT.

“It is an honor to join forces with such esteemed partners in support of Feeding South Florida,” said Lisa Davis, director of Corporate Community Impact for JM Family Enterprises. “Our founder instilled the spirit of giving back as an integral part of who we are as a company. Whether we are building homes, mentoring underserved children or cleaning up our beaches, our collective efforts demonstrate the power of community collaboration in making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.”

The contributions will support Feeding South Florida’s mission to end hunger in the community by providing immediate access to nutritious food, innovative programming and advocacy efforts. Participation in this collective donation underscores JM Family’s commitment to supporting local communities through its three areas of charitable giving:

Empowering Families: We empower families to thrive by focusing our efforts on promoting self-sufficiency, mentoring young people, and helping families with essential services like safe and affordable housing.

Promoting Education: We help a new generation of leaders achieve their full potential and support partners that provide or supplement high-quality education.

Embracing the Environment: We are committed to working collaboratively with our partners and in our communities to reduce our environmental impact and make a positive difference for our planet.

Feeding South Florida will utilize the donation to distribute nutritious meals to families and individuals facing food insecurity. The combined efforts stand to make a substantial impact, providing much-needed resources to help combat hunger in the region.

“We are incredibly grateful to South Florida Kia Dealers and the Miami HEAT, Miami Dolphins, and JM Family Enterprises and JM&A Group for their generosity,” said Paco Vélez, president and CEO of Feeding South Florida. “This support comes at a critical time as families continue to face rising food, housing, and fuel costs. Together, we are helping to ease their financial struggles and provide hope during the holiday season.”
