What began as a\n      small effort by members of Village Presbyterian Church\n      to keep non-perishable food available for neighbors in need grew into the\n      Community Food Pantry serving families throughout the area.\n     \n\n      Today\, volunteers remain an essential part of the pantry’s ability to\n      serve our community.\n     \n\n      During our volunteer morning\, Penn State Tampa Bay volunteers may assist\n      with activities such as packing groceries\, sorting donations\,\n      stocking and organizing food\, preparing items for distribution and\n      supporting other pantry needs as directed by the pantry team.\n     \n \n   \n \n\n      🥫 October = Penn State Food Drive Month\n    \n\n      Bring a donation.
