For people living with chronic illnesses, food is more than nourishment—it’s part of their care. Through The Poverello Center’s Food Is Medicine program, clients receive medically tailored groceries designed to support their specific health needs and improve overall well-being.
Your support helps ensure that individuals living with HIV, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other chronic illnesses have consistent access to nutritious food that complements their treatment, promotes stability, and helps them live healthier lives.
Tom believed that everyone deserves dignity, compassion, and access to the support they need to thrive. Through his leadership, The Poverello Center touched countless lives and strengthened a mission that continues to serve our community every day.
The Thomas Pietrogallo Memorial Fund ensures that his legacy lives on through the work he cared so deeply about. Your gift will help provide food, healthcare, pharmacy services, HIV prevention and testing, and critical support for individuals living with chronic illness throughout South Florida.
Together, we can honor Tom's memory by continuing the mission he dedicated his life to advancing.
Thank you for helping keep Tom's legacy alive.
As food costs continue to rise, the need for medically tailored groceries is growing. Your support helps us keep shelves stocked, meals nutritious, and care accessible for those who rely on us every day.
