Hey Lakeland, Feeding Tampa Bay (FTB) needs your help. Are you ready to give back?🤔

If you haven’t heard of Feeding Tampa Bay, they are a part of the Feeding America network with a focus on the West Central Florida region. Their goal is to provide food to the hundreds of thousands of Floridians in that 10 county region who are what they call, “food insecure.”

A big part of their success is the help from the local community in an effort to give back to those families in need + now they need your help. The group is actively searching for volunteers in the area to dedicate their time + resources to help their neighbors.

Even though FTB is working with 10 counties across the region, they are still meeting a lot of people (both partners and neighbors alike) for the first time. Because of that, they’re striving to spread continued awareness to those in need + provide valuable support from those who are willing and able to help.
