President Ronald Regan proclaimed 1987 to be the National Year of Thanksgiving.

That same year, Sarasota Mayor Fredd Atkins and representatives of various

organizations in the county gathered to decide how to effectively feed the hungry and

homeless in the local communities for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. The

Mayor’s Feed Hungry Program was established in Sarasota to address this issue. Its

original mission was to collect funds and distribute them during the holiday season.

Over the years the program has expanded to include food drives, community feedings

and providing food gift cards.

The program is now endorsed by the Mayors of Anna Maria, Bradenton, Bradenton

Beach, Holmes Beach, Longboat Key, North Port, Palmetto, Sarasota, Venice, and

the County Commission Chairpersons from Manatee and Sarasota counties. Services

are provided to local communities throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties.

The Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program is a volunteer organization. No government

funds have been used to support the program. Membership is open to anyone who is

interested to help. Member organizations who regularly participate in meetings and

activities are eligible to receive donations to distribute free to the needy in their

communities. Please visit the website at www.mayorsfeedthehungry.org for more

information.

Since its beginning, the Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program has raised over 3.7

million dollars enabling the program to help feed over 765,000 hungry citizens in our

local communities. All the money has been raised from generous community support

and is distributed here in Manatee and Sarasota Counties.

There are over 25 participating organizations and several concerned citizens that

participate in the Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program.

Activities include:

Community Feedings

Food Drives

Public Awareness Promotions

Stand Down for Homeless Veterans

Giving Hunger the Blues

Fund Drives

Food Gift Card Distribution

250 volunteers who showed up to

helped sort food.

We thank the

food drive by

offering their

turkeys ($10 food

gift cards).

The Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program

partners with The Joy FM for their annual

T-shirts for Turkeys program. Collection

stations were set up at Chick-Fil-A

restaurants in Sarasota and Bradenton with

a live broadcast by the Joy FM asking

people to donate a frozen turkey or a paper

turkey ($10). We provided volunteers to

help at the events and collected

3,000 turkeys.

Food Gift Cards allow People to Shop with Dignity

Each year the Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program purchases food gift cards and

distributes them during the holidays. This year over $170,000 in food gift cards were

distributed.

Food gift cards are given to participating member organizations. Each member takes

them back to their organization and distributes them to their clients and through those

that assist via food pantries.

The program members have established a guideline to give one $10 food gift card per

person with a suggested limit of four gift cards per family. Distribution of food gift

cards is coordinated among our participating member organizations so that recipients

can only receive them at one location.

Food gift cards allow people to shop with dignity, allowing them to purchase food items

they might not otherwise have been able to afford.

The Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program purchases

food gift cards through Publix Supermarkets.

These cards can be used at any Publix store for

food only. The cards are programmed to prohibit

the purchase of alcohol, lottery tickets or tobacco

products.

Publix Charities has been a

loyal supporter of the Mayors’

Feed the Hungry Program for

many years.

The Mayors’ Feed The Hungry

Program received a donation of

$10,000 from Publix Charities

in 2019.
