Hungry For Change…
Feeding Tampa Bay is changing lives one meal at a time
WORDS: Amy Bell
Across the Tampa Bay area,
hundreds of thousands of people
are considered “food insecure.”
This means they do not have consistent,
easy access to safe, nutritionally adequate
food. While you may assume food
insecurity is something that impacts only
homeless people, this is not the case.
Many working adults, children, and elderly
people also lack access to nutritious food.
Fortunately, Feeding Tampa Bay, part of
the national Feeding America network,
is on a mission to stamp out hunger. “As
the backbone of hunger relief, Feeding
Tampa Bay is the largest food rescue
and distribution organization in our
community, serving a food-insecure
population of more than 600,000 people
in a 10-county region,” explains Rhonda
Gindlesperger, Chief Operations Officer
of Feeding Tampa Bay.
