Joseph Marcello is a dear friend and a valued Winn Dixie colleague who has lived and worked in Tampa for the company for 20 years. On Sunday night, February 22nd, 2026, a devastating fire destroyed his home and took away all of his belongings. To make matters even more difficult, Joseph had no insurance to help cover his losses. In just a few hours, he lost not only his house but also the comfort and security that comes with it. The shock and heartbreak of losing everything so suddenly is something no one should have to experience alone.

Right now, Joseph is focused on picking up the pieces and starting over. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping him secure essentials like clothing, food, and temporary shelter. Beyond the immediate needs, your support will also help Joseph begin the long process of rebuilding his life and creating a new home. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference as he works to recover from this tragedy.

Thank you so much from Joe. Your kindness and support means more than you all know. In times like these, community means everything, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can offer. Please consider sharing this fundraiser to help Joseph get back on his feet.
