“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” Matthew 25:35
Feed the Bay is an opportunity for the community and church to come together as one body of Christ and fill the food pantries of Hillsborough county for four to six months. Their goal is to collect 160,000 pounds of food for the pantries.
What is Feed the Bay?
Feed the Bay is a coordinated community outreach uniting churches throughout Hillsborough county along with Publix Super Markets, designed to stock the shelves of participating food pantries on Saturday, March 22 & Sunday, March 23, 2014.
When is Feed the Bay?
Saturday, March 22, 2014 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Sunday, March 23, 2014 from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm
How does Feed The Bay work?
1. On Sunday, March 23, participating churches will hand out a Feed-The-Bay grocery list and encourage everyone to leave directly after church and shop at Publix Supermarkets or other stores closest to their home between the hours of 9am – 2pm for the benefit of those in need in our communities
2. After shopping, drop off your purchases to volunteers standing by at trucks located in each of the parking lots of the participating stores. Most stores are located in Hillsborough County. Download the list here. (if you don’t see a drop off location near you, please check the Feeding America donation locations)
3. TrueCouponer’s can collect food starting RIGHT NOW, and take the donations to the drop off trucks at the supermarkets on March 23rd by 2pm.
