Feeding Tampa Bay

September is Hunger Action Month!
In an effort to support the local community, our office volunteered at Feeding America’s Tampa Bay location, near Ybor. With over 700K hungry people in the western FL region, Feeding America serves as a main distribution center to many local food banks, churches, and other non-​profits.
Our office admin. did an outstanding job at setting up this event, and Feeding America makes the volunteer process very simple, too. Here’s how:
— Check out their calendar
— You can contact Lindsey at
— Sign the waiver form
— And show up for your shift
Done! We arrived a little before 9am and started our three hour shift soon after. Ever wonder where all the extra food goes from grocery stores? Here. With expiration guidelines, we were able to salvage boxes and boxes of food. While there, our group helped sort dairy, meats, produce, baked goods, medicines, etc. Such a neat experience. Aside from 30 employees, the entire process relies solely on volunteers.
PS: plus, you get a popsicle on your break, jackpot.
