FeedingTampaBay.org is a large network of food pantries and other food support services. Because they span 10 counties, it appears that their phone number is for their main office ONLY. You have to search the website by ZIP code or County to access food services.
Food banks + meal services: You can search the site for support near you in the form of groceries, a precooked cafe (helpful if you do not have a working kitchen or cannot physically make meals yourself easily), and other forms of assistance.
They also help people apply for EBT/SNAP benefits, which most people know as 'food stamps.' Even if you don't THINK you'll qualify, ask for help and see for sure. You can also see what the qualifications are and if it's worth meeting them.
Feeding Tampa Bay has job opportunities at times. They offer programs to get people to work while also earning certifications and are especially looking for people interested in warehouse, culinary, and CDL driving.
VOLUNTEERS are needed ALL THE TIME! All ages (below 16 with adult supervision.)
- Work in one of the cafes they support to help prepare and serve food
- Warehouse work to manage, sort, + pack foods for shipping
- Food distribution for groceries
- College Student Ambassadors: semester-long programs to help end hunger + bring hunger awareness
- Bright Futures Scholarships hours!
- Court-ordered community service hours available!
