Child hunger and food insecurity are major issues threatening our Manatee County community. Your business, organization, or family’s financial contribution will directly support our Backpack Program to ensure our neediest children have access to a healthier, happier future.
While donations of bulk food are helpful and appreciated, your financial contributions go further for F.E.L.T. than food donations. WHY? We are able to purchase food in quantities large enough to secure substantial discounts from distributors.
Your monetary donation supports the administrative and operating costs of our organization’s mission to feed 1,900+ empty little tummies each week in Manatee County.
If you’re a business or community leader looking to make a lasting impact, consider becoming a sponsor. Your support can help sustain our program and reach even more children in need.
Hosting a food drive is a simple and impactful way to bring your community together while supporting local children in need. We make it easy—just reach out to get your donation barrel, promote your drive, and once it’s done, either drop off the collected items or give us a call to arrange a pickup. It’s a meaningful way to make a difference, and we’re here to help every step of the way!
