This month is Hunger Action Month, and Feeding Tampa Bay’s President and CEO, Thomas Mantz, hopes more will use the occasion to join the fight against hunger.
Feeding Tampa Bay provides seven million meals a week across 10 counties in the Tampa Bay region. The effort to get the food from the donation truck to people’s homes is massive.
Buying food isn’t just getting harder for families in need, it’s hitting the nonprofits that help them. Feeding Tampa Bay and Metropolitan Ministries said surging inflation is straining resources, and both nonprofits said workers are seeing a record number of families needing help.
