- $48.5 million spent. FOOD DISTRIBUTION ALL FAITHS FOOD BANK IS THE ONLY FOOD BANK AND LARGEST HUNGER RELIEF ORGANIZATION IN SARASOTA AND DESOTO COUNTIES. THE FOOD BANK WAS FOUNDED BY A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO, THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS, WERE FEEDING THE HUNGRY. THEY COMBINED EFFORTS TO INCORPORATE AS ALL FAITHS FOOD BANK, A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. ALL FAITHS HAS BEEN A CERTIFIED MEMBER OF THE FEEDING AMERICA NETWORK SINCE 1990. MOBILE PANTRY PROGRAM: NEIGHBORS WHO ARE FOOD INSECURE CAN FIND FRESH PRODUCE, MEATS AND GROCERIES AT 35 LOCATIONS WHICH PROVIDES 46 DISTRIBUTION OPPORTUNITIES PER MONTH. THIS PROGRAM ENABLES ALL FAITHS TO MAKE FOOD MORE ACCESSIBLE IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, IN A MANNER THAT IS RELIABLE, QUICK AND FLEXIBLE. BY PROVIDING FOOD IN DIFFERENT AREAS, ON DIFFERENT DAYS, AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF DAY, THE ORGANIZATION WORKS TO ENSURE THAT THOSE WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM ADDITIONAL FOOD CAN FIND AND RECEIVE IT IN THE MOST CONVENIENT MANNER. VETERAN'S PANTRY PROGRAM: TWO TUESDAYS PER MONTH, AREA VETERANS ARE INVITED TO A SPECIAL MOBILE PANTRY AT CHURCH OF THE PALMS IN SARASOTA. VETERANS SAY THAT THEY ARE GETTING SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST FOOD: SURVEY RESULTS HIGHLIGHT THE VALUE OF CAMARADERIE AND COMMUNITY AMONG THE VETERANS SERVED THERE. LARGE-SCALE FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS: TO MAKE FOOD MORE ACCESSIBLE - AND LOWER THE BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION - ALL FAITHS HAS PARTNERED WITH ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES AND VAN WEZEL PERFORMING ARTS HALL TO UTILIZE SITES WHERE HUNDREDS CAN BE REACHED DURING AN EVENT OF JUST A FEW HOURS, WITH NO PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED. IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 14,000 TURKEYS AND HOLIDAY MEAL FIXINGS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO LOW INCOME, AT RISK, NEIGHBORS.

- CHILDHOOD HUNGER CHILDREN WHO ARE HUNGRY STRUGGLE TO FOCUS - WHICH AFFECTS THEIR ABILITY TO LEARN - HAVE MORE DIFFICULTY WITH SHORT-TERM MEMORY, MAY BE LESS SOCIAL, AND ARE MORE PRONE TO ILLNESS THAN CHILDREN FROM FOOD SECURE HOMES.

ALL FAITHS FOOD BANK'S CHILDHOOD HUNGER PROGRAMS INCLUDE BACKPACKS FILLED WITH FOOD FOR NON-SCHOOL TIME AND FOOD PANTRIES WHICH PROVIDE MEALS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. CAMPAIGN AGAINST SUMMER HUNGER: WHEN SCHOOL ENDS, HUNGER BEGINS.

- RURAL HUNGER DESOTO COUNTY IS ONE OF THE POOREST COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. A COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT CONDUCTED IN 2017 DISCLOSED A LACK OF RESOURCES, MINIMAL SERVICES AND POOR COORDINATION. ALL FAITH'S DESOTO FOOD AND RESOURCE CENTER (FRC) WAS FOUNDED IN 2019 TO ADDRESS THOSE DEFICIENCIES AND TO BE THE EPICENTER FOR NEEDED RESOURCES. NEWER COMMUNITY ASSESSMENTS CONDUCTED IN 2021 AND 2022 DISCLOSED ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING REACHING PEOPLE IN REMOTE AREAS DUE TO THE LACK OF COUNTY TRANSPORTATION, THE NEED FOR NUTRITION EDUCATION, THE NEED TO EXPAND FRC OPERATIONS TO SERVICE INCREASED NEED, AND COMPREHENSIVE INDIVIDUAL CASE WORK. IN LATE 2023 AND INTO EARLY 2024, ALL FAITHS EXPANDED OUR FRC FACILITY TO HANDLE THE INCREASING FOOD NEEDS IN THE COUNTY, EXPANDED FLEET OPERATIONS AND EXPANDED THE NUMBER OF PARTNERS, GROWING OUR MOBILE PANTRY AND CHILD & FAMILY PROGRAMS. WE HIRED MORE STAFF TO HANDLE THE INCREASING FOOD NEED IN THE COMMUNITY. IN RESPONSE TO THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE ASSESSMENTS, ALL FAITHS EXPANDED PARTNERSHIPS TO DELIVER FOOD AND BETTER REACH REMOTE AREAS, EXPANDED PROGRAMS FOR NUTRITION EDUCATION AND HIRED CASE MANAGEMENT STAFF. SPANISH SPEAKING STAFF IS KEY FOR ENGAGING NEIGHBORS TO OVERCOME PARTICIPATION HESITANCY IN THESE COMMUNITIES. A CREOLE SPEAKING STAFF MEMBER WAS ADDED IN 2024. THE DESOTO FRC WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN IMPORTANT FOCUS FOR ALL FAITHS, DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS AND ENTRENCHED NEED IN DESOTO COUNTY.
