“As a City for Everyone, Orlando has a long history of establishing partnerships which have supported the development of services and programs that were built on the foundation of compassion. Every day, our residents demonstrate compassion so many ways, like volunteering as a mentor in our Parramore Kidz Zone program, participating in a community garden that provides fresh fruits and vegetables to their neighbors or serving on a committee that helps connect veterans to valuable resources.” – Mayor Buddy Dyer
