Event overview

CALLING ALL HILLSBOROUGH CO. VETERANS!! Come out as serve with The Mission Continues Tampa 1st Platoon as we support Feeding Tampa Bay! At the food bank, our Mission Continues volunteers will be sorting perishable and non-perishable items. Upon arrival, Feeding Tampa Bay will give an orientation at the beginning of the shift where they will explain who they are and what they do. After the shift, they will take one big group photo where they share how many meals were provided during the shift. ​ For non-perishable sorting we will be inspect the donated products to make sure they're good quality and not expired. We will then sort items into categories to be distributed to Feeding Tampa Bay's local partner agencies in 10 county areas. For perishable sorting we will go through donated bulk produce to inspect the quality and then sort into family-size portions. These will also go out to the community through Feeding Tampa Bay's agency partners or through programs we have with elementary schools, high schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, etc. Volunteers must be ages 5+ and wear CLOSED-TOE SHOES. We will send out a Feeding Tampa Bay event waiver to each person that volunteers. Please complete and bring with you on June 9th. ​
