Feeding Tampa Bay

Two years ago, we opened the doors to the Causeway Center. Today, it feels like home. 💙

To celebrate 2 incredible years of growth and community, our Feeding Tampa Bay family took a little time to unwind and celebrate. From a vibrant luau filled with laughs, good food, and great company, we paused to reflect on how far we’ve come together.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our Causeway Center journey so far. What’s your favorite memory at Causeway so far?👇

When we make mistakes, the hardest part can be wondering if the world will ever let us start over. But true community isn't about closing doors; it’s about opening them wider. 🚪✨

On the brand-new episode of our podcast, Stick a Fork in It, we sit down with Fresh Force graduate Curtis to talk about accountability, the power of a supportive environment, and what it truly feels like to get a second chance.

His story is a beautiful reminder that our past choices don't have to dictate our future when a community chooses to embrace us.

We are officially 10 days away from our Cereal for Summer Collection Day! 🥣💛

On Friday, June 5th, we are coming together as a community to change that. From 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, our teams will be stationed at 13 different drop-off sites across all counties. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it makes a massive impact.

🔗 Check out cerealforsummer.org for a drop-off location near you. See you on June 5th!

25,935 bowls of cereal and counting! 🥣💛

We are officially halfway through our campaign, and we are incredibly grateful for the wave of support from our Tampa Bay community. Thanks to your donations, 1,729 boxes of cereal are ready to head out to families who need them most.

But our work isn't done yet. Summer can be the hungriest time of year for children who lose access to school meal programs.

Right now, 1 in 4 children in our area are still facing hunger. We need your help to keep these bowls full all summer long!

🗓️ Mark your calendars for our big Collection Day on Friday, June 5th!

Food is so much more than what’s on our plate, it’s the centerpiece of our most cherished memories. ✨

🎙️ On the latest episode of Stick a Fork In It, Jeff Houck (VP of Marketing for the 1905 Family of Restaurants) reminds us that food is a universal language of comfort, joy, and celebration. If it doesn't spark an emotional reaction, it's just fuel!

📞 In an emergency, call 911

Kids helping kids. 🥣💙

We’re so proud to see Cereal for Summer making an impact in our community. Students at Corbett Preparatory School of IDS collected cereal boxes to help children facing hunger this summer showing how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

For many families, summer can be one of the hardest times to keep food on the table while children are home from school. That’s why community support matters so much.

is almost over, but there’s still time to help. The link to join us and support is in the comments ⬇️

Please join us in thanking these amazing students for giving back to their community! 💙

Community starts with connection. 💚

We were proud to join the grand opening of the Fair Oaks Community Center in East Tampa and connect with more than 100 neighbors during this exciting new chapter for the community.

Families stopped by to receive fresh produce, learn about the services available through Feeding Tampa Bay, and explore classes and programs designed to support long-term stability and wellness.

A strong community is built when resources, opportunities, and people come together and that’s exactly what we saw at Fair Oaks. 🏡✨
