Mission Tampa formerly ran the Cook's Hat food bank on Nebraska Ave. + Hillsborough Ave., in front of the historic Seminole Heights Baptist Church. That property was sold last year and with it, the food bank property. But that hasn't stopped Mission Tampa! It is estimated by many groups that 1 in 4 children are "food insecure," meaning that they do not get enough to eat. Not to mention that many only have access to very low-quality food!
Mission Tampa has begun to focus on filling that need by providing weekend bags of food to children who might only otherwise get the provided school lunches.
Monetary donations go a long way towards purchasing food in bulk, paying utilities, and more!
FOOD donations if you have them help a lot, too. If the photo is hard to read or doesn't appear on mobile very well, here's a sample list of needs. Please call Anne with questions or guidance towards other foods! (813) 236-6237
