Fort Myers Community Cooperative -Soup Kitchen & Food Pantry We are so blessed to be serving 3 local Summer Camps totaling 120 youth in the Tampa Bay Area. All campers bring their own lunch daily, However, some of the local summer camp leaders have asked for donations from the community. Primarily, for breakfast and snack items. So that breakfast and snacks can be provided for some children who are not able to provide snacks and breakfast for themselves.

Hope 1 Ministries, a nonprofit dedicated to personal and educational development, is in need of food donations to support youth summer camps in Tampa Bay. “We’ve been supporting summer camps in the Tampa Bay area for about 10 years. We provide bottled water and snacks as well as books and reading materials for the children attending the summer camps. As you can imagine, long, summer days filled with non-stop activities, field trips and pool visits make for super hungry and thirsty kids!
