🎙️ Group Chat Podcast – Community Spotlight: Bless Your Heart Nonprofit with Ross Jambon

In this Community Spotlight episode of the Group Chat Podcast, host Damien St. Pierre and co-host Tommy Badeaux sit down with Ross Jambon of Bless Your Heart Nonprofit, for an inspiring deep dive into one of the region’s most impactful organizations.

Ross walks us through the origins of Bless Your Heart, from its pandemic-era beginnings to hurricane relief efforts, community outreach, and their signature mix of creativity and compassion—from viral memes to meaningful fundraisers like the Your Mama’s Dish & Dash 5K and Cookoff. You'll hear about their upcoming “Sprint for Spring” event, their dedication to keeping community spirit alive through storytelling, and the unique role they play in bridging generosity with real need—from food pantries to disaster response.

Highlights include:

• The origin and evolution of Bless Your Heart

• Ross’ behind-the-scenes stories of hurricane relief missions

• The heartwarming mission of the DTB Podcast and preserving local stories

• A preview of the Dish & Dash event and its wild cook-off entries (fried jambalaya balls, anyone?)

• Details on Bless Your Heart’s food pantry and Second Harvest partnership

• A tribute to the late Spring Gidry and how her memory fuels this year’s race

Whether it’s spotlighting everyday heroes, organizing community galas, or handing out cooking pots etched with custom logos—this episode captures the heart of what makes local nonprofits like Bless Your Heart so powerful.
