Annual Giving Campaign Donor Spotlight
Kim DeVane and Mike Orlito $2500
Kim DeVane and Mike Orlito are staples of the Nature Coast. If you’ve been in the area any length of time, you’ve probably seen them out and about in the community. Kim and Mike are seasoned Realtorsâ and brokers who lead a qualified team of agents at Re/Max – the Kim DeVane and Mike Orlito Group.
Kim and Mike have been making personal donations to the Community Food Bank since its inception. Mike is a founding member of the organizations’ Board of Directors, a past President, and continues to serve on the Board today. They’ve kicked off the Community Food Bank’s 2026 Take a Bite Out of Hunger Annual Giving Campaign by making a $2500 donation.
Their “Why”
Why do they continue to donate their time, money, and resources to the Community Food Bank?
“It’s simple,” says Mike. “Kim and I remain passionate about the mission and the impact and will never give up our involvement in the effort to get the most nourishing food possible to people who need food relief.”
Passion For Helping the Most Vulnerable
“Economic conditions fluctuate and many seniors with fixed incomes, families with children, and other lower income residents are left unable to make ends meet financially,” explains Mike. “Relieving hunger helps stabilize the well-being of our neighbors in need.”
The Return on Investment
Mike and Kim confidently make their donation to the Community Food Bank knowing it’s being used wisely and yields impressive results.
“Every dollar provides food for ten meals,” says Mike. “The Community Food Bank is an essential and multi-faceted operation. Contributions keep the refrigerated box trucks on the road to pick up food every day to restock the warehouse. The committed staff and volunteers process the food quickly and get it to 75+ partner agencies, who then distribute it to 120,000 people in need throughout Citrus, Hernando, and Sumter Counties.”
Supporting An Essential Service
“The Community Food Bank is filling an urgent and important gap to eliminate food insecurity our neighbors are experiencing,” explains Mike. “Hungry kids can’t function to learn in school or play sports. Seniors stretching a thin budget will have worse health outcomes if they are living with hunger. Working adults struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table not only face hunger themselves, but undergo extreme stress when they cannot feed their families.”
“Bottom line, a community is dependent on the skill and labor contributed by working people and our workforce cannot function well without maintaining nourishment,” concludes Mike.
