About Food4need INC
Why We Started?
Due to our desire to help our community, all three of our founders have been life-long volunteers. No matter where we volunteered or with what organization, there was one constant: demand for a healthy, fresh, and free meal. We decided to take on the problem ourselves.
Our Mission
At FOOD4NEED INC, our mission is to provide fresh, healthy meals to those in need of them. We aim to eliminate hunger in south Florida by delivering one meal at a time by cooking meals every week and delivering them to brick and mortar charities and foundations that directly serve those in need. With your help we can provide even more food for families.

Hi, I’m Parker Forman. I am currently a student at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I work with many organizations in my community to help eliminate hunger and decrease famine. As the president and founder of Food4Need Inc, I have already cooked and distributed hundreds of lasagnas, which have fed over 1,000 people throughout the south Florida community.I’m proud to have brought my friends Max and Ryan on board to expand my efforts. As president, I spend my time looking for more places to donate food and determine where the food we cook gets distributed. Also, I focus on personally cooking the meals for those in need with the donations you provide. Lastly, I handle the financial side of our 501(c)(3).

Hi, I’m Max Hazleton, and I currently attend Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As a two sport varsity athlete, I know how teams can work together to do more than we could as individuals. With Food4Need, I combine my love for cooking and my desire to better the community.. As a founding board member and the vice president, I help find individual donations, but I am focused on finding and onboarding even more corporate sponsors,, like Sprouts Farmers Market. I am proud of the impact we can make when we bring community businesses to the Food4Need Inc team.

Hi, I'm Ryan Kelly del Valle, and I am a student at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Every year I volunteer at Patricia Davis Community Park to harvest food to give back to my local community. I am excited that joining the FOOD4NEED organization as a founding board member and assistant vice president that I can make even more of a difference in our community’s goal of ending hunger. I look for donors to help make our mission possible and assist on delivery days to ensure the food we make reaches those who are already counting on the work we do.
