Food is more than a meal. It can serve as a magnet to individuals who may be reluctant to ask for help from other programs and services. The outreach efforts of All Faiths Food Bank can link them to intervention services that help them achieve self sufficiency. Join us and shop for a cause and help us raise fund for the thousands of Sarasota Families in need and the 160 food pantries they serve. Whole Foods market will donate 5% of the day's sales to All Faiths Food Bank. The Mission at All Faiths Food Bank is to solicit, warehouse, process and distribute food to not-for-profit agency partners offering hunger relief. The Food Bank reduces food waste by reclaiming the food that might otherwise go into our landfills. It also provides community leadership and education to the community on issues related to food, nutrition and hunger. For more information visit Allfaithsfoodbank.org.
