In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Meals on Wheels PLUS is deeply concerned for all affected by the recent storms.
Through our PLUS program, The Food Bank of Manatee, we are evaluating the nutrition needs of residents who have been impacted by the storms. Through our network of 105+ food pantries and partner agencies, we are assisting families with essential items. If you or someone you know is in need, please see our updated list of pantries to find a location convenient to you.
If you experienced little impact from the hurricane and are able to help, we would be grateful for assistance in the following ways:
-
Please donate any unused, unopen food items and/or bottled water you purchased for the storm to The Food Bank of Manatee.
-
Donations can be dropped off at our main office located at 811 23rd Avenue East in Bradenton or at our Daybreak Adult Day Center located at 10920 State Road 70, Lakewood Ranch. Both locations are open regular business hours between 8:30am and 4:00pm.
-
Make a monetary donation in support of The Food Bank of Manatee. You can make a secure gift online.
-
Additional items are typically in need after storms, such as cleaning supplies, toilet paper, and paper towels. To see items currently in need, please see the list of critically needed items.
All donations stay in Manatee County to help Manatee County residents!
Thank you for your consideration and support.
