“Ending Hunger, Nourishing Hope,”
the mission of Feeding America Tampa Bay,
expresses a vision the food bank’s
Board of Directors offers to the Tampa Bay
community. Hunger free initiatives across the
nation are taking root in small towns and
counties as well as in major metropolitan
areas. Led by elected officials or volunteers,
these initiatives are formed around the core
belief that to end hunger at the community
level, a broad range of community stakeholders
must unite behind a common vision and strategy.
Feeding America Tampa Bay’s Board embraces that
central belief and provides, in the food bank, a hunger
relief foundation for the community. Our pragmatism tells
us that feeding 700,000 of our needy west central Florida
neighbors does not mean that every home’s cupboard will be abundantly
stocked. Yet, our long-term strategy is predicated on the certainty that we
can assure every parent in our 10 counties that, if your family is hungry,
there is somewhere you can go to get them a meal.
The challenges are admittedly daunting. Supplies of non-perishable food,
historically a food bank staple, have shrunk steadily over the past few
years. Transportation expenses have grown as the food bank’s fleet has
tripled in size to service the sprawling expansion of the retail donation
programs. With 10 trucks on the road all day every day to pick up product
donations from hundreds of grocery stores in west central Florida, the
meter is running every minute to pay for drivers, fuel and truck
maintenance. And, for the past three years, every single year, the number
of our neighbors in need of food assistance has grown by 100,000. Fully
28% of our area’s children live with hunger.
The members of our Board generously commit their personal and company
resources to Feeding America Tampa Bay’s mission. In the past 12
months, the food bank has distributed more than 25 million pounds of food
– enough to provide more than a million and a half meals every month. We
are very proud of the work Feeding America Tampa Bay does every day to
care for our community’s most vulnerable. The team at the food bank
works tirelessly to grow the organization’s capacity, increase the
operation’s efficiency and adapt programs to reflect the new reality of
hunger in the region.
With full confidence in our solid infrastructure, our key collaborations and
our very mindful stewardship, we encourage you to share our vision and
help shoulder the mission of Ending Hunger, Nourishing Hope in the
Tampa Bay community.
Pat Rogers
Executive Director,
Feeding America Tampa Bay
The people we serve plus myself and the
team here at the food bank would like to
express our gratitude for all the support
we have received in the past year. We know that
many in our community this past year have experienced
tougher times or know or work with someone who looks
forward to better times. The fact that you still found it in your heart to
support others in need of food goes a long way in saying what kind of
people live in our community.
Feeding America Tampa Bay has been able to feed more people in the
past year than ever before. We have provided 20% more meals to the
hungry children, women and men who were in need. We don’t do this
by ourselves as we work with 600 partners (pantries, soup kitchen,
shelters.) We work together to get our partners the food so they can go
the last mile to reach those in need of a meal.
This year we ramped up a new program for us which we call a direct
distribution or mobile pantry. The food bank loads up a truck or two of
mainly perishable foods like produce, meat, juice or dairy, and takes it
directly to the neighborhoods where there is the most need, working
with partner agencies to reach people who are hungry. Many of our
partners do not have adequate storage for refrigerated or frozen foods
that represent the mainly nutritious categories noted above. Mobile
Pantries combine the food bank’s strengths to source and handle these
foods and our partners’ knowledge of what is happening in their
immediate community. We both utilize our loyal volunteers to make
this program a success.
Even with the progress we have made this past year, we are not
addressing all who need our help. The unemployment is our area has
only slightly eased so those who lost their jobs are still trying to hang
on for better times. With their personal resources depleted, many more
have turned to the emergency food system for help. Florida (and our
area as well) is one of the top 10 in child hunger with 1 in 4 children
going hungry as there is not always food at home.
Once again, we want to express our gratitude for all those who have
supported us with their time, food or financial donations. We continue
to expand our nutritious food supply and after school feeding programs
with your support to achieve our mission ‘Ending Hunger, Nourishing
Hope.” I firmly believe we can end hunger in Tampa Bay area together
with your help. Give us a call and get involved!

Food Programs
PARTNER DISTRIBUTION:
FOOD RESCUE
Sourcing excess food that would otherwise go
to waste is at the heart of the food
bank’s operation. Feeding America’s
national office contracts with national
Food manufacturers, grocery retailers
and restaurant chains.
Feeding America Tampa Bay (FATB)
is responsible for executing those
donation programs on a local level. Local donors such as farmers and food
manufacturers donate food as well. The food bank operates a fleet of 10
trucks to pick up product donations from all sources identified within our
service area.
:
MOBILE PANTRY:
Designed to increase food distribution,
FATB member charities pre-select
individuals and families from among their
client base to participate in a distribution. On the
designated distribution date, FATB refrigerated
trucks deliver grocery items such as meat, dairy, bread,
fruit juice and fresh produce (as available). Recipients arrive on a staggered
schedule and progress through a line receiving their household allocation of
each product. Clients typically receive 25 – 30 pounds of groceries, enough
food to for a family of 4 to share one meal per day for a week.
600 hunger relief organizations, large
and small, receive food from
FATB. There are tiny, cramped pantries
spirited away in the corners of
churches, large well-equipped kitchens
of established charities, and out-of-the
way residential shelters offering solace
to our community’s most vulnerable.
Our partners qualify for food bank
membership by operating a 501-c-3 or
faith-based organization and agreeing
to abide by strict food safety and nondiscriminatory best practices.
Accessing the food bank’s inventory
via our on-line ordering system, they
may visit the warehouse to pick up
orders or opt for delivery.
Childhood Hunger Initiatives
Addressing childhood hunger takes on many forms. With federal programs in place to provide 2 meals a day to children
on weekdays during the school year, the gap to be filled includes after-school hours, weekends and school vacations.
Kids Cafe – Low income children in after-school programs are
fed a hot meal each weekday before going home.
After School Snack Program – Low income children in after
school programs are fed a nutritious snack each weekday.
BackPack
- Children of food insecure households receive
weekend supplies of food to take home each Friday.
Summer Feeding Programs – Low income children are
provided breakfast and lunch at designated feeding sites. FATB
adds daytime meals to existing after-school programs.
Saturday Academy Breakfasts – Students from Title 1
schools are incentivized to attend FCAT preparation classes on
Saturday mornings with the offering of a hot, nutritious breakfast.
