Community Involvement
Key Areas of Community Service
Food Drives and Grocery Giveaways — David has organized and participated in multiple food distribution events to combat hunger and provide essential resources to families facing hardship. Highlights include:
Collaborating with the Republican Club of Southwest Volusia County and partners like Lugo Farms to host drive-thru grocery giveaways, distributing non-perishable foods, fresh produce, meat, and other items to hundreds of individuals and families (e.g., events serving over 350 people).
Leading or supporting community food drives that collected donations of canned goods, fresh items, and perishables to stock local food banks and provide meals during tough times.
Successful food drive initiatives and ongoing grocery line announcements to ensure no one in the community goes hungry, often in conjunction with local organizations and volunteers.
Civic and Public Engagement — David consistently encourages resident participation in local government, urging attendance at city and county meetings, reviewing agendas, and voicing concerns on issues like utilities, budgeting, flooding, property taxes, and infrastructure. He has spoken at Deltona City Commission meetings and advocated for greater transparency and accountability to ensure every voice is heard.
Charitable Support and Donations — Through his campaigns and personal efforts, David has made contributions to local causes, including donations to organizations like the Volusia/Flagler Boys and Girls Club. He has also supported community events and ministries providing aid, such as food assistance programs at places like the East Side Soup Kitchen and West Volusia Dream Center.
Community Events and Festivals — David actively engages at local gatherings, such as the International Festival at Deltona City Hall, where he connects with residents, hears their stories, and builds stronger community ties. These events highlight his dedication to celebrating diversity while addressing real challenges like recent floods and economic pressures.
Broader Volunteerism — As a respected businessman (owner of Sosa Martial Arts Inc.), David channels his service-oriented mindset into ongoing efforts that promote resilience, dignity, and support for neighbors. His work emphasizes treating all people with respect and standing together during difficult times.
David's community involvement reflects his core belief: strong communities are built through collective action, generosity, and unwavering support for one another. Whether organizing food distributions, advocating at public meetings, or simply being present for residents, he remains committed to making Volusia County a better place for families to thrive.
