ORLANDO, Fla. — Many people who need help getting food in the community go to One Heart for Women and Children, a nonprofit aimed at ending hunger and offering guidance for long-term stability.

Among the organization's volunteers is one man who, despite facing his own setbacks, now dedicates his life to helping others. 

On any given day, you can find Randy Mann packing food for those in need.

“Starting out, making a bag, putting cans in, at least six,” said Mann, as he pulled nonperishables off the shelf. 

He’s been deemed one of the most consistent volunteers at One Heart for Women and Children, a dedicated community food pantry in Orlando.

“Seeing the homeless guys really come in and get what may be their only meal for the day makes all the difference,” Mann said.

Mann has been a volunteer for nearly a decade, learning about the organization's services after bringing in one of his friends after they were in a bad car accident.

“I heard about One Heart and decided to bring him over," Mann said. "They really helped him. He was in dire needs.”

When he saw just how many other people needed help, he decided to lend a hand, distributing food during his lunch breaks and after work.

“To be able to give them something, they are trying to get back on their feet, some of them, and any little thing to make their day go through,” Mann said.

A few years ago, he suffered from health issues that required months of recovery and prevented him from going to work.

Despite that, as soon as he was able, he started volunteering even more as it renewed his desire to help his community.

“With the health issues that I have, I don’t get to work full time as an employee, but I get to come down here, keep myself busy and help everybody,” Mann said.

While One Heart has many volunteers, founder Stephanie Bowman said that there’s something special about Mann. He takes the time to get to know the people they serve and hear their stories.

“As he does that, you could feel his heart," Bowman said. "You could feel that extra heartbeat, and you could see the excitement in his eyes and in his face that he really is helping to make a difference in the community.”

But if you ask Mann, he’s simply helping out his friends and neighbors.

“There are some of the people that come in, they don’t want to be where they at," Mann said. "It may be a family. They might be a single person. They are in a position in their life that they just need some help.”

Mann is also an inspiration and Everyday Hero to his three children, who come to volunteer with him often.
