Members of the media are invited to attend two drive-thru food distribution events for Lake-Sumter State College students this month.
At May’s food distribution event, the LSSC Foundation distributed over 41,000 pounds of food to over 1,300 individuals.
Following that success, and thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, the LSSC Foundation has partnered with Lake Cares Food Pantry and Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida to bring these events to North and South Lake Counties for LSSC students.
At each event, over 20,000 pounds of food will be distributed. LSSC students will receive nutritious meal ingredients and fresh produce to last over a week.
Hunger Action Month is a time to mobilize the public to take action on the issue of hunger. All month long, Feeding America and its network of food banks, including Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, are encouraging people to take action through volunteerism, advocacy, special events and promotions.
Hunger Action Day (September 10) is a time for hunger-relief advocates to focus our efforts on one day for greater impact.
