JFCS of the Suncoast Hosting Fundraiser to Feed Hurricane Victims

October 5, 2022 by Post

SARASOTA, FL – (Oct. 4, 2022) JFCS of the Suncoast has started a fundraiser to collect money to purchase groceries and hot meals for people impacted by Hurricane Ian.

Several food trucks will host an event in the JFCS parking lot from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 12, to help feed hurricane victims. Donations made to JFCS’ fundraiser will help cover the cost of the hot meals prepared and served by the food trucks. Organizations, churches, subdivisions, businesses, and community representatives can pick up the free meals during the event to distribute to community members in need.

The funds will also be used to purchase groceries at a discounted rate for community members who cannot afford to replace the food they lost during the hurricane and power outages.
