Feeding Florida Feeding Florida's 9 member food banks serve all 67 counties through over 2,400 local food pantries.

Feeding Florida members are the 12 Feeding America affiliated Regional Distribution Centers in Florida. Our members partner with more than 2,300 faith-based and nonprofit agencies meeting the daily needs of people who struggle with hunger throughout all 67 counties in the state of Florida. Through the generosity of food manufacturers, the Florida agricultural community, wholesalers, retailers, federal commodity programs, and local communities, our member Food Banks distributed more than 197 million pounds of food last year to our neighbors in need. Feeding Florida is a Partner State Association of Feeding America, the nation's leading hunger-relief organization. Each Feeding Florida member food bank must meet stringent guidelines to be associated with Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest). This mutually beneficial contracted relationship assures both financial and operational excellence. It also provides accountability through network training, site monitoring and the maintenance of substantial records verifying conformity to established Federal and State safe food handling standards. Feeding Florida members are private, non-governmental organizations with high ratings from Charity Navigator.

Tomatoes are in season across Florida, and you can find them at farmers markets, on grocery store shelves, and in our food banks throughout the state right now! 🍅

Just in time for cooler Autumn weather, this Tomato and Sweet Pepper Soup is a simple way to put those fresh tomatoes to use. And if you don’t have fresh tomatoes on hand, canned whole tomatoes work well in this recipe, as well.

Approved by our Florida Nutrition Education team, this soup is a delicious way to enjoy a Florida favorite as we head into soup season. 🥣💚

For October’s “This is the Network” we are highlighting one of our North Florida food banks, Second Harvest of the Big Bend. Serving 16-counties, all but one rural, the food bank unveiled their brand new Impact Center last week—a 28,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility designed to strengthen its ability to fight hunger and serve neighbors across the Big Bend.

Designed with the future of the community in mind, the Impact Center includes:
-An expanded volunteer space
-A new community and training center
-Upgraded administrative offices

Together, these enhancements also allowed the warehouse space to double, expanding Second Harvest of the Big Bend’s capacity to source, store, and distribute nutritious food throughout its massive rural service area. The grand opening brought together elected officials, community leaders, donors, partners, and supporters to celebrate this exciting milestone and recognize the generosity and commitment that helped bring the Impact Center to life.

As we shine a spotlight on Second Harvest of the Big Bend throughout October, we’ll share more about the organization, the people behind its mission, and the many ways it is strengthening communities across the Big Bend.

Tomatoes may not always be the star of the show, but they’re often the supporting ingredient that makes our favorite dishes shine! From fresh salads and sandwiches to homemade sauces and hearty family meals, tomatoes bring flavor, color, and nutrition to the table.

Congratulations to Adam Lytch (pictured here), the new Chair of the FFVA, and a longtime Farmers Feeding Florida partner!
FFVA President Mike Joyner (pictured alongside our CEO Robin Safley) continues to be a tremendous advocate for Florida’s agricultural community.

We’re grateful for our continued relationship with our FFVA partners and the work we’re able to do together to connect Florida-grown fruits and vegetables with families across our state.
