Father Joe's Villages 2014 Annual Report (1) | Page 21

AGENTS OF TRANSFORMATION

DONOR SPOTLIGHT
Franklin Antonio
In early 2014, Franklin Antonio, co-founder, Executive Vice President and
Chief Scientist at Qualcomm, Inc., pledged $2 million to support our lunch
program which provides nearly 300,000 lunches for the hungry each year. To
honor Antonio’s gift, Father Joe’s Villages renamed the public lunch program
the Franklin Antonio Public Lunch Program.
This lunch program is offered free of charge and serves both our homeless
neighbors on the street and many of the working poor who live in the nearby
community. Those with disabilities comprise more than a third of those
dining, and veterans are another 16 percent of diners.
CORPORATE VOLUNTEER
Rene Brunold – A-MO-BEE (formerly ADCONION)
Rene Brunold is one of those people who makes you feel good about the
world, and we have the privilege of seeing her a lot. In 2014, her company
A-MO-BEE volunteered for several events, including our TOWERthon,
Thanksgiving 5K, various children’s festivals and several special meals. Our
relationship with Rene began at one of our special meals. She eventually
brought her coworkers for a team building activity serving a special meal.
Since then, A-MO-BEE has served a special lunch each fall — that they also
pay for! Thanks Rene and A-MO-BEE for the wonderful suppor и)%9%Y%U0
