What is a Hunger Dinner?

Each year, Feeding Tampa Bay hosts a dinner at their warehouse. It’s an ingenius way to share with people in the city just who the people are that benefit most from Food Pantries. And it’s NOT who you would expect.

I’ve been associated with Feeding Tampa Bay for 3 years, and I proudly serve on their Development Committee. I was fortunate to tour their facility by Thomas Mantz when I was in Leadership Tampa Bay. Whenever I tell people about Feeding Tampa Bay the response is almost always the same: Some derivative of, “Oh, they feed the homeless right?” Yes, but to paint their entire organization with that brush would be wildly inaccurate. The number of meals who go to the homeless are merely a sliver of the total meals provided for the Tampa Bay Region.  The majority of the meals go to hard working Moms and Dads that sometimes have 2 or 3 jobs but just can’t make enough to keep up with today’s high-priced everything. And that’s why the Hunger Dinner is so important.
