HAVE YOU EVER BEEN HUNGRY?
Do you know what it feels like to be HUNGRY?
HUNGER has many faces: a young child, an unemployed parent or a senior citizen with limited income. It may even look like one of your neighbors. Thousands in our community go to bed hungry, with no hope of a better tomorrow; and thousands more are homeless and looking for a way out of the trap of poverty.
The Volunteer Way and their hunger relief partners assist approximately 20,000 families each month, throughout Florida, with food and personal items to supplement their meager incomes. We are a volunteer charity that serves the hurting people of Florida. We give hungry people a hand up and a kind word when they come to us for assistance. Last year we donated 6,500,000 pounds of food to feed homeless and low income hungry children, seniors and families.
Our mission is to unite faith-based and community hunger relief charities to help the vulnerable people in our communities. As responsible and caring people, we will aid in their struggle to overcome poverty and become productive citizens of the community.
The Volunteer Way needs the financial support of the business community and individuals. Our administration's overhead is less than one percent, which means that $.99 of every dollar that we receive goes directly to helping the needy.
Can YOU make a difference?
The Volunteer Way invites you to get involved as a volunteer at our warehouse, office, hydroponic garden or our Little Angel thrift stores. At the present time we need volunteers at our office and drivers for our "Brown Bag Program" that delivers food once a month to seniors that are homebound and disable. Will you consider giving your talents at least once a week?
Our volunteer and community service hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
Our food pantry opens to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
