Feeding Tampa Bay's mission is to change lives one meal at a time by leading our community in the fight against hunger.
Our vision Is a hunger-tree Tampa Bay and our goal is to close the meal gap by 2025 by prov1d1ng 115 million meals per year. We are led by these guiding principles:
-We are mission passionate for feeding those in need
-We fight hunger, not just with food, but with knowledge of the issue
-We serve our clients compassionately and free of prejudice
-We act with integrity as we steward the resources entrusted to us
-We value collaborative partnerships - both internally and externally - which are the lifeblood of our success
-We are driven by the moral responsibility to uplift our community
Feeding Tampa Bay's Food Plus programs helps with more than just food. We know that surrounding hunger often challenges meeting other basic needs like finding adequate housing, understanding health care options, locating transportation help, or accessing services to support individuals and families. Our trained team cares about our community and works one-on-one to help neighbors navigate an often-complicated social services system.
Food Plus programs empower our community to utilize resources and services that reduce challenges caused by financial crisis. We equip neighbors with knowledge, resources, and opportunities to advance economic mobility; empowering neighbors to have a brighter, healthier future.
