It is hard to believe, but unfortunately true that 172,590 children in our community struggle with hunger. When these kids have no food, we have no choice but to respond. This fall the Winter Park community is breaking new ground in an effort to end hunger in Central Florida.

Feed the Need Winter Park, presented by Mayflower Retirement Community and Winter Park Memorial Hospital, is not your average food drive.  It is the first of its kind, community-wide effort to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.

Don’t miss out this for an early chance to take your little ones out to trick or treat in a family friendly atmosphere on Saturday, October 26; 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Children in costume are invited to visit participating Park Avenue area merchants for a Halloween tradition.  Sign up to participate by October 4 to be included in marketing materials.
