All Faiths Food Bank, the only food bank and largest hunger relief organization in Sarasota and DeSoto counties, has launched its ThankFULL campaign. This annual fundraising effort supports the purchase and distribution of thousands of complete Thanksgiving meals and millions of holiday meals. This year’s goal is to distribute 14,500 turkey dinners through funds raised in October and November; continued contributions through December will help provide 4.1 million holiday meals to neighbors at risk of or experiencing hunger. In November, there are numerous large-scale turkey distributions at venues such as Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, the Englewood Sports Complex, and South Florida State College in Arcadia.
