“In this court room we often discuss solutions on how we stop this (the cycle of crime and violence). And here it is you (The Food Project) are doing just that. You are on the front lines of this.” “You are already making a difference because you made a difference in his life. And you are making a difference out there. So I implore you, don’t stop.
