The Tampa Bay Church of Christ and the Tampa Bay Chapter of HOPE worldwide worked together to coordinate their first annual city-wide food drive. A local grocery store graciously donated paper bags that volunteers placed on their neighbors’ doorsteps. A note was attached to each bag with information about the food drive including: where the food would be donated, what items were needed, and when the volunteers would return to collect the bag.
We were extremely encouraged by our neighbors’ generosity. We collected approximately 5,000 pounds of food for local food pantries. Thank you to all of our volunteers and their neighbors, for making this the first of what we hope will be many successful food drives.
