SRQVolunteen Students Fight Summer Hunger

Coconut Telegraph

SRQVolunteen students raised $310 and 157 pounds of food for All Faith’s Food Bank at their Spaghetti dinner held recently in Sarasota.  75 people attended the event which featured food and drinks donated by Whole Foods Market, and baked goods from SRQVolunteen members and other volunteers. The SRQVolunteen class chose addressing hunger in Sarasota for their community service project.  As part of the research on the issue of hunger, students volunteered at All Faith’s Food Bank where they sorted produce and learned more about the summer meals program for Sarasota County students. “We are so proud to have been selected by the SRQVolunteen students,” said All Faiths CEO Sandra Frank. “Their hard work and generosity not only helps us feed families, but they get to experience how wonderful it feels to make a difference in our community.”
