Healthy food is essential to a healthy life.
Here in Sarasota and DeSoto counties, many of our neighbors are still struggling with the economic and health impacts of COVID-19. And when they need our help, All Faiths Food Bank is there. With a helping hand and a healthy meal.
At All Faiths Food Bank, we work to distribute millions of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to people experiencing hunger each year. This work is founded on the belief that the bounty of the autumn harvest belongs to all, especially those who need it most.
Thanks to the Rakay Family Foundation, every dollar you give is matched up to $100,000!
Join the Autumn Harvest campaign and ensure children and families have access to the healthy food they need to secure the bright future they deserve.
Food rescue operations
So how do we bring the harvest to the hungry in our community? Through our food rescue operations. Rescuing unsold produce from local farmers and grocery stores and coordinating the delivery and distribution. From our area farms right to their table.
We can rescue that food and bring it to the hungry, but we can’t do it without your help.

Your gift can do so much good
Over the last year, Paula and her family have turned to All Faiths Food Bank’s school pantry at their daughter’s elementary school for nutritious groceries. Paula is a medical coder and her husband is in the pool business but lost his job during the pandemic. She shared that, thankfully he is working again but that they are still making up for a year’s worth of lost income which makes it challenging for them to put food on the table.
