Today: Goodwill Summer Food Drive

Goodwill Manasota is asking members of the community to support their summer food drive benefiting the Food Bank of Manatee and All Faiths Food Bank. The public is encouraged to donate non-perishable food items TODAY to any Goodwill location in Sarasota, Manatee, Hardee and DeSoto counties.

“Donations to food banks typically slow down in the summer months, despite the increased need tied to school vacation,” said Bob Rosinsky, president & CEO of Goodwill Manasota. “These two local food companies are committed to our neighbors, and we will do whatever we can to help support them.  Together, we can make a difference to reduce hunger in our community.”

The Food Bank of Manatee and All Faiths Food Bank currently serve approximately 150,000 people each week. Donated food will help both food banks combat summer time hunger.

Food donations can by made at any Goodwill Manasota location.  Please visit our website at www.ExperienceGoodwill.org for a list of locations.
