On The Air Podcast - In December 2017 Bobby DeLancelotti established the Estero Bay Kindness Coalition to serve children in schools who most vulnerable due to food insecurity. Working through the school system he was able to find the nearly 70% of children going to Del Mar Grammar School in Morro Bay that were living at or below the poverty line. Forming partnerships with other non-profits, for profits, churches, and schools he began the Got Your Back food program that supplied nutritional food for kids on weekends when they did not have the benefit of the school lunch program. The foods were packed into backpacks that were discreetly delivered to the kids to take home. After one year, eight schools participated. A sponsorship program was established whereby donors can sponsor a child for as little as $20 a week, $40 a month or $380 for a school year. Another program began when the pandemic hit and the schools closed. Bags of Love was then created and food was delivered to the homes of needy families. Bags of Love delivers two bags of protein rich meals, snacks, and fruit and a bag of fresh produce weekly. Bobby's wife Denise began Sunshine and Seed a Kids Clothing Collective where kids and their families can come to obtain free clothes. This program offers new underwear, socks, and pajamas and gently used outerwear. The Estero Bay Kindness Coalition now serves over 170 families with their food and clothing programs.
