August has been a very busy month. We are assisting over 1,000 families that come to our food
bank for food each month. Our food bank and soup kitchens have not received any commodities for the past eleven months.
We have thousands of people that are not getting any U.S.D.A. commodities. In a few years we are hoping to apply for the contract
for commodities in Pasco County so we can more evenly distribute the government commodities. Well, that a little ways off,
so we need to find food for the hungry people that we serve in Pasco County from other sources.
We will be approaching local supermarkets to help us feed the many hungry children, working poor,
seniors and the homeless in our communities. We never charge any type of fees to pantries, soup kitchens and the hungry people
that come to our food bank for food.

IT’S ALL
ABOUT FEEDING
THE HUNGRY!
These are troubled times
With all these natural disasters happening, all charities should be working together for the betterment
of their communities. This is why they are called a Charity.
Does this make sense?

On the brighter side
When we had hurricanes hit the Florida area, The Volunteer Way Food Bank donated 80,000 pounds of
food to help the victims. Then we partnered with United Way and had our tractor trailers pick up donated furniture from Saddle
Brooks Resort and donated the furniture to hurricane victims plus other charities in Pasco County.
When Katrina hit, we were there with diapers, depends, food, personal items, toilet paper and
other paper goods. We filled one and a half trucks of the four trucks sent to Gulf Port, Mississippi.
The Volunteer Way is not just a food bank but we have many different outreaches to serve the
different communities. We are there for all underserved people of Florida.
