In Palm Harbor, FEAST Food Pantry has operated for nearly 37 years as a nonprofit distributing food to low-income residents of North Pinellas County.
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Clearwater coordinated a project to provide home-sewn masks for FEAST volunteers and continues to donate food despite the church’s temporary closure during the pandemic.
Palm Harbor United Methodist Church spearheaded a “Pop the Trunk” food drive in May to benefit local pantries such as FEAST, who gratefully received an entire vanload of food.
Generous residents in Quail Forest (East Lake), Rainbow Farms (Safety Harbor), Highland Lakes (Palm Harbor) and others have created local food drives to collect non-perishable food for FEAST.
Damia Kelly of Directions for Living, who coordinates with Pinellas Homeless Leadership Alliance to deliver the food, remarked, “we don’t often get this level of support from North County, so we really appreciate FEAST’s no-cook bags!
