The purpose of the organization is to provide supplemental support to organizations and facilities impacted by social distancing guidelines in response to COVID-19. This includes senior-living facilities, schools, nonprofit organizations and others that serve the elderly, children and the homeless.<\/p>\n

With a team of a dozen volunteers, Vulpe and Orindas have implemented several projects to help the community, such as creating and distributing masks, personalized cards, food packages for the homeless, book drives and online tutoring.<\/p>\n
The group hopes to not only help neighbors in need, but also foster a sense of connection, to make sure everyone knows they are not alone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Orindas and Vulpe hope to encourage fellow Knights and Central Florida residents to find ways to support communities that are most vulnerable. These communities appreciate the extra support during this time, Vulpe says.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are happy to support them during this quarantine time, it means so much to them, and to us too,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When the coronavirus hit Central Florida, Daniela Vulpe and Victoria Orindas saw that many charitable organizations had to slow down or stop due to health concerns.
