Upcoming community project hosted by The Skills Center in collaboration with Meals of Hope and the Suncoast Tampa Association of Realtors. We will be distributing 10,000 boxes of nonperishable food items—including pasta, rice medley, bean and rice casserole, mac and cheese, lentil rice and vegetable bowls, apple cinnamon oatmeal, and vegetable and rice soup.
The event will take place on Friday, November 7, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at The Skills Center (address listed on the flyer). Food will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and at this time, there is no limit on the number of boxes per family—our goal is to share all 10,000 boxes with the community.
