Treasure Coast Food Bank
To actualize its mission, Treasure Coast Food Bank utilizes two measurable strategies to alleviate hunger among the more than 100,000 individuals found to be food insecure in our community. First strategy: we share millions of nutritious meals each year with food-insecure individuals through food distribution programming. Meals, which have been procured, stored, and inventoried by TCFB, are shared seven days a week through TCFB-coordinated mobile pantry distributions, our child nutrition programs during the school year and over the summer, with more than 250 collaborative partner organizations (human service agencies, churches) that serve low-income clients who are in need of immediate relief from hunger, and other programs. TCFB has formed these collaborations in order to create a highly-efficient emergency food distribution network that extends into the hundreds of diverse neighborhoods that constitute Florida’s Treasure Coast and Okeechobee County. Second strategy: TCFB manages direct-service programs that ultimately help people transcend the need for government and charity support and thus ultimately, achieve long-term self-sufficiency. These programs are known as our “Strengthen Individuals & Families Programming.â€
