Civic & Social Organization - Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
Our mission is to raise awareness, create a dialogue and inspire action in the fight against local and global hunger. Over the past 5 years, the Chicks have facilitated large scale meal packaging events (think 150 volunteers and 20,000+ meals!), hosted monthly family friendly service projects, developed curriculums for home school groups and girls scout troops, and come up with many creative activities to get the Tampa Bay community engaged in fighting hunger.The goal, however, is not only to feed the hungry, but to encourage a culture of helping one's neighbors, foster service as a family activity, and create a dialogue about how we, as a community, can build a local food system that allows everyone to live food secure.
