As Food for Families soon comes to a close this year, We want to thank Vigo for their support and incredible donation of their pantry staple, yellow rice. Thanks to them, 85,000 sides of rice will be served around Tampa Bay.
With so many struggling to make ends meet, partners like Vigo and initiatives like Food for Families are truly placing healthy food options on tables throughout Tampa Bay.
