MIAMI (WSVN) - It has now been six months into the pandemic and local organizations continue to help out community members struggling to put food on the table for their families.
On Friday morning, City of Miami Police and Farm Share participated in a drive-thru food distribution with Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood.
7News cameras captured a long line of vehicles with their trunks open and parked outside of Chef Creole Restaurant, located at 200 NW 54th St., as early as 7 a.m.
Each vehicle drove home with at least one full box of fresh produce and a gallon of milk.
“We’ve been blessed for the past 28 years in our community, and whenever the community cries out, you know, for things unforeseen, it’s our responsibility as businessmen that as much was given to that, we also give back to the community,” Chef Wilkinson “Ken” Sejour, owner of Chef Creole, said.
“I think it’s wonderful that they’re even taking the time [to do this],” said recipient Raymond Johnson. “A lot of these business owners are struggling, too, so to see this company here, I mean, actually put forth the effort to actually try to help people that are in need, it’s just a blessing in disguise.”
Sejour said bridging the gap between law enforcement and the community through the event will go a long way.
“This is more than feeding the people,” he said. “I think we need to look at the tension between the community and law enforcement. That tension is at an all-time high and I felt like, let’s try to kill two birds with one stone. Let’s feed the community, but let the law enforcement have the opportunity to feed them, so that way, we can humanize law enforcement because two tomatoes that’s bad in a case, although there are 28 tomatoes that have not been affected, but the fact that we didn’t rinse off the two tomatoes and they rinse off the 28 that’s good, that means we can’t sell the case, so I think that now is the time to rinse off the 28 that’s good and show the community that there are more good law enforcement officers than the ones that are bad.”
