TAMPA, FL. – Breadcoin Foundation Ltd., a DC-based nonprofit is expanding its innovative food system to Tampa. It will be the first city in Florida where local food vendors will accept Breadcoins – food tokens that work like a community-wide gift certificate – as a form of payment. It will launch its food token in Tampa during a community information meeting from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, at the Portico Café, 1001 N. Florida Ave., Tampa.
Breadcoin Tampa’s launch attendees will meet the co-founders, the lead food vendor – Portico Café, the launch team and learn more about Breadcoin’s three focus areas: (1) The need – We provide a point of connection, the dignity of food choice, and reduce isolation; (2) The work – A food token connects and weaves the community together; and (3) The result – We feed with dignity, engage, and support local food businesses in underserved areas.
