Norman Love Confections donates $36,074 to Better Together

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Dec. 6, 2022 - PRLog -- Norman Love Confections has donated $36,074 to Better Together to support the nonprofit in assisting families hardest hit by Hurricane Ian.

Following Hurricane Ian, Norman Love Confections created and sold 1,214 #SWFLStrong Florida Boxes online and in chocolate salons with 50% of every purchase going to Better Together, a Southwest Florida-based nonprofit dedicated to serving families and children.

"Our entire team at Norman Love Confections is so grateful to our customers for the overwhelming and generous response to our #SWFLStrong Florida Box and the chance to help our community following the devastation of Hurricane Ian," said Norman Love, founder and CEO of Norman Love Confections. "So many families lost everything, and Better Together is literally going door-to-door in the hardest hit areas distributing food, water and other relief supplies directly to families. I consider this donation from the #SWFLStrong Florida Box a collective 'holiday gift' from our customers to the community and I'm truly grateful to everyone who supported us during this heartbreaking time for Southwest Florida."

Better Together is made up of two programs – Better Families and Better Jobs – that help parents who are going through a hard time to keep their kids out of foster care, find work and address the root causes of their struggle so that they can reunite as a family with the tools and support system to thrive. The nonprofit is providing a variety of resources to families in response to Hurricane Ian, including temporary child care for first responders and families who need a safe environment for their children, distributing food and supplies to families in need and connecting displaced job seekers with resources and employment opportunities.

"This gift from Norman Love Confections is going to help hundreds of families across Southwest Florida, many who have lost everything after Hurricane Ian," said Megan Rose, CEO of Better Together. "We are beyond grateful for the generosity of people across the nation who supported us through the #SWFLStrong Florida Box. This is going to help us accelerate the work that we're doing to impact more lives in our community, especially during the holiday season when families really need our support."
