The Giving Coast

The Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program, a longstanding community initiative dedicated to fighting food insecurity across Sarasota and Manatee Counties, announced today that it is distributing more than $100,000 in food gift cards to local food pantries just in time for Thanksgiving. This year’s distribution aims to support thousands of families facing financial hardship, ensuring they can enjoy a meaningful holiday meal.
