Walking Among Us: Bringing Awareness, Prevention, and Essential Services to the community. What started off as honoring victims of domestic violence and cancer awareness. Turned into action & something bigger. We brought resources, free health screenings, and other services together at one place for those who need it the most. We had over 100 people & families come to receive services with financial challenges, language barriers, health concerns and limited resources. We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the healthcare professionals, community partners, vendors, volunteers, and families who made this possible. @bethesdamobile @kennesawstateuniversity @cdphga @lcf_georgia @girlscoutsatl @viewpointhealth @georgiaoverdoseprevention @padvatlanta @gwinnettfvtf @tahirihjustice @livesaferesources @katesclub @medinawellnesschiropractic @urbinaimmigrationlaw @emoryuniversity @pregnancy_aid_clinic @amerigroup @eleosfoundation @cobbcollaborative @wellstarhealth @communitiesinschoolsmcc @eastchesterfamilyservices @highlandriversbehavioralhealth @scottmaddenlife @gas_south @chattahoocheetech

It takes a day, with a group of people who share the same mission to change lives and give others the tools they need to succeed. 🎒📚 For nonprofits meeting the needs of the communities can be hard, even more challenging today. During their annual team meeting, @scottmaddenlife & us turned an idea into action by filling 90 bookbags with school supplies for students who need them this year. The impact is children walk into school feeling prepared, supported, and ready! #nonprofit #serfamilia #communitysupport #philanthropy

Continuing our mission, last week we held a community resource event in fair Oaks with the support of Un Equipo from the @bravesfdn . Families received free food clothing, bookbags, diapers and other essential resources. We are incredibly proud of the parents and children who trusted us, showed up, and accepted the support they needed. Thanks to everyone who played a key role in making this event possible. Because of you, families in our community have somewhere to turn for basic necessities and meaningful support.

🧠✨ Give your kids a space where their mental health comes first—and where they can show up as their authentic selves. Our upcoming youth event offers a fun, supportive environment for kids to learn about emotional well-being and discover healthy ways to express themselves. Plus, it’s 100% bilingual (English & Español), so your family can connect and speak in whatever language feels most comfortable! 💬❤️ Give your child the tools to thrive, process their feelings, and build emotional resilience alongside peers. 🗓 Date: September 19 ⏰ Time: 11am2pm 📍 Location: 1990 Vaughn Rd NW, Kennesaw 🎟 Register/More Info: Call 678-363-3079 or message us! Save this post, share it with a fellow parent, and tag someone who would love to bring their kids! 👇

🔥Chef Spotlight: José Alvarez🔥 has spent over two decades cooking at the highest level — from Michelin-starred kitchens in New York City to the farms and fishing docks of Puerto Rico. As Executive Chef of Andaluz at ALMA San Juan, he brings to Old San Juan a career defined by relentless curiosity, technical precision, and a deep personal connection to the island he calls home. Trained at the French Culinary Institute in New York City and shaped by early studies at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas de San Juan, Chef Alvarez built his foundation in some of the most demanding and celebrated kitchens in the world. He worked alongside Wylie Dufresne at Alder, deepening his command of avant-garde technique, and with Alex Stupak at Empellón Cocina, immersing himself in the craft and complexity of modern Mexican cuisine. At Union Square Café under Chef Carmen Quagliata, he rose from line cook to sous chef grounding his culinary philosophy in farm-driven cooking and the discipline of genuine hospitality. His tenure as Chef de Cuisine at Claro in Brooklyn earned the restaurant a Michelin Star, affirming both his creative vision and his capacity to execute at the highest standard. Back in Puerto Rico, Chef Alvarez served as Executive Sous Chef at the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel before taking the helm at Andaluz. There, he has built something more personal a culinary identity rooted in the dialogue between Spanish tradition and Puerto Rican terroir. Not fusion. Evolution. His menus are constructed around the island's farmers, fishermen, and seasons, with sourcing partnerships spanning local farms, artisan producers, and daily-catch seafood from Puerto Rico's own waters. His cooking is technically precise, culturally honest, and visually intentional every dish a reflection of the training, the travels, and the island that made him. #sanseatlanta #festivals #puertorico

🔥Chef Spotlight: Juan José Cuevas🔥 A Michelin-starred Puerto Rican chef celebrated for his ingredient-driven, seasonal cuisine. A CIA honors graduate and recipient of the Chef de l’Avenir award, his culinary philosophy combines rigorous classical technique with a deep respect for the land a passion rooted in his childhood on his grandmother’s farm in Utuado, Puerto Rico. He has spent his career in the world’s most respected kitchens (Blue Hill, Alain Ducasse, 1919 Restaurant). Now, he’s bringing his lifelong philosophy of flavor-forward, ingredient-driven cuisine to a highly anticipated new flagship concept in Old San Juan. Visit his booth at SanSe Atlanta and enjoy his amazing talent. #sanseatlanta #food #puertorico #festival

🔥Chef Spotlight: Monti Carlo🔥 Author of Spanglish: Recipes & Stories, Senior Editor of Food & Dining at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and a three-time Telly Award-winning TV host with a digital audience of 1.25M+. A member of the James Beard Foundation's Broadcast Media Awards Committee, she is a leading voice in modern Puerto Rican cuisine. With shows on FOX, Food Network, PBS, Roku, Cooking Channel, and appearances on Good Morning America and Today Show. Her work explores what it means to live between cultures, using food as a language of identity. She brings Boricua diasporic culture into the mainstream through storytelling that spans media, publishing, and live experiences. #sanseatlanta #atlanta #communitysupport #festivalseason #foodfestival
