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, pantries and soup kitchens have not received any commodities for the
past eleven months for Pasco or Hernando Counties. 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 and Hernando Counties so we can
more evenly distribute the government commodities. Well, that's a little ways off, so we need to find food for the hungry
people that we serve in Pasco and Hernando Counties 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.

We are now working with the Florida Association of Hunger Relief Ministries (a Florida Federation) to be part of
all the employee payroll deduction campaigns throughout Florida. We have started to contact federal, state and local
government to allow us to be part of their yearly campaigns. We have also started to contact large and small businesses in
Florida.
Many people I talked with agree that the smaller charities have never receive the support they deserve. We understand
that the larger charities that have been receiving all the support do a great job of helping many hurting people. Many people
also agree that the smaller charities do a great job helping many hurting people. It is only fair that the smaller charities share
in some of the support that the community gives to the larger charities. Please call and lets talk about helping smaller charities
and their roll in our society.
