As the final touches are put on preparations for the March for Rights, Respect, and Fair Food (including the 8-ft. tall statue, right, that will accompany marchers every step of the way), social media chatter around the march surges! Facebook, Twitter, and the blogosphere alive with messages from marchers, well wishers... Cheryl Queen is an executive with Compass Group, the country's largest foodservice company and one of eleven multi-billion dollar food industry leaders that has signed on to the Fair Food Program. But she is also a person of strong faith who believes deeply in the mission of the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and as such will be joining workers from Immokalee and hundreds of other Fair Food allies for part of the March for Rights, Respect, and Fair Food. And to share her excitement about the coming march, she sent this statement to the Presbyterian Hunger Program's Facebook page: "I’m very proud to join this year’s March for Rights, Respect and Fair Food. Since 2007 Compass Group has enjoyed a partnership with the Coalition and the Fair Food Standards Council that reflects the highest levels of ethical behavior, transparency and authenticity. The Coalition embodies passion and integrity coupled with humility, and that’s what brings about lasting change in a way that honors and recognizes everyone. On a personal level it is always feels like a homecoming to return to Immokalee and visit friends and partners. Sharing this March together, particularly during the Lenten season, feels like a walk of faith, transformation and celebration..."
