What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Feeding Tampa Bay Food Bank
With over 400 agency partners who receive food from FTB and in turn distribute food to low income clients, we are the driving force behind food relief in the region. Food donations come from retail grocery partners, distribution centers, food drives, farms, and food bank purchases. The people we serve identify as food insecure and include individuals of all ages and racial/ethnic backgrounds. Agencies may shop at Feeding Tampa Bay's warehouse or receive deliveries of donated food. Some agencies have the capacity to pick up donations directly from grocery store partners.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
A Hunger-free Tampa Bay. We change lives one meal at a time by leading our community in the fight against hunger.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Since there are many factors contributing to hunger in our area, Feeding Tampa Bay has developed programs addressing each. From feeding hungry children between school meals to making sure those without transportation have nutritious food to eat, our programs can mean the difference between eating and not eating for the food insecure. Please visit our Feeding Tampa Bay website for the most up-to-date programs: https://www.feedingtampabay.org/.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
As a member of the Feeding America network, Feeding Tampa Bay receives food donations from various government agencies, retailers, farmers, and community organizations at different times throughout the year. We supply millions of pounds of food to the residents in our 10-county service territory. Our food out distribution model is executed through our numerous programs which have all been tried and tested to show effectiveness. Please visit our website for the most current list of Feeding Tampa Bay programs: https://www.feedingtampabay.org/.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We provided millions of meals each year and doubled our food out model through the COVID-19 pandemic.
