Fundraise Your Way
You Can Help
One in seven of your neighbors is facing hunger, one in six of those are kids. With rising prices for everything from basic needs to housing costs, many Central Florida families are cutting back on groceries – or skipping meals completely.
You can help families, kids and seniors get the nutritious food they need by starting a fundraiser today. Every $1 helps provide four meals through a network of over 870 feeding partners in Brevard, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Volusia Counties.
