Feeding Tampa Bay - Because Food Makes Tomorrow Possible

Because Food Makes Tomorrow Possible

Food is more than just a meal on a plate. When we share food around a table, we can begin to break the cycle of hunger and reimagine new possibilities. Consistent access to nutritious food enables students to excel, parents to focus on their livelihoods, and seniors to maintain a healthy life.

Hunger Is A Challenge That Doesn’t Discriminate

Food insecurity can affect anyone: our neighbors, coworkers, the elderly, and classmates. Many people who need our help work hard day in and day out, but were one layoff, tragedy or natural disaster away from needing assistance. We embrace our similarities and differences alike to reinforce the strength of our impact. We honor and serve all of our neighbors compassionately and free of prejudice.

Feeding Tampa Bay is leading the movement to end hunger, rallying our community together to create a healthier, more capable Tampa Bay and beyond.
