“When I think of anyone, especially older adults or children going hungry throughout their day or when they lay their head to rest for the night it just breaks my heart. Food is a basic human need and no person should ever go to bed hungry. That’s why I have personally and professionally been supporting the food bank society since 1996.”Message from Lucky Lauridsen founder of Age-Wise Business Solutions .
