Food Insecurity

Voting Period: November - December

No one in our community should go hungry. These organizations are tackling hunger head-on, making sure every neighbor has access to the food and care they deserve.

  • End 68 Hours of Hunger
    Fills the weekend meal gap for students by sending them home with food every Friday, ensuring kids return to school nourished, focused, and ready to learn.
  • Beth-El Farmworker Ministry
    Serves farmworker families across the region with food, clothing, and essential support, feeding those who help feed our community.
  • Meals on Wheels of Tampa
    Provides nutritious meals and friendly visits to homebound seniors, delivering not just food but connection, dignity, and compassion.

In addition to the three organizations above, the Lightning and Benchmark International have awarded a $50,000 grant to Feeding Tampa Bay and Metropolitan Ministries a $25,000 grant to further extend their reach.
