The last year has brought with it significant challenges for Florida residents. Increasing costs, unemployment, and the ongoing pandemic have resulted in financial hardship for individuals and families alike. As a result, more than 38 million adults and children across the USA went hungry in 2020.
This quarter, Fran Haasch of The Fran Haasch Law Group is proud to announce its 13th annual food drive for FEAST, an annual effort to help families in need.
Facts About Hunger in America
More than a law firm specializing in personal injury cases, The Fran Haasch Law Group is a community activist and advocate. The law group’s leadership is keenly aware of the struggles experienced by the greater Tampa Bay area community, and are always looking for ways to give back.
Food insecurity is a socioeconomic calamity present in neighborhoods all across Florida. According to data from ‘Feeding America’, the ongoing pandemic has had a considerable impact on the food security of Americans nationwide, resulting in up to 42 million facing food insecurity. The USDA’s latest Household Food Insecurity in the United States report echoes a similarly troubling scenario, stating that more than 38 million US adults and children went hungry in 2020.
13th Annual Food Drive for FEAST: Sponsored by the Fran Haasch Law Group
Even food pantries have fallen on hard times, with shelves sometimes bare during a time when Palm Harbor and surrounding area communities need help the most.
FEAST Executive Director Tamara Black said there’s been a dramatic increase in clients suffering from food insecurity due to the pandemic. “The number of individuals and families we typically serve has doubled and includes many who’ve never visited a food pantry before,” she said. Black added, “Unfortunately, our donations have decreased and we need support now more than ever. The annual food drives that Fran and her team host every year help ensure we have a constant stream of supplies throughout the holidays for families in need.”
Stepping up to the plate and ready to assist, The Fran Haasch Law Group is excited to announce the 13th annual food drive for FEAST, taking place November 5th, 12-6PM, at 1275 Nebraska, Avenue.
An event near and dear to Fran’s heart, this food drive was inspired by none other than her own grandma. After WWII, her grandma fell on hard times, writing a letter to a friend of the family for assistance. The care packages and support that followed were what got her family through tough times.
Having experienced how one small act of kindness can have such an impact so many years later, Fran knew she needed to continue the tradition of giving to those in need. To that end, her law group started the Fran Haasch Annual Food Drive for FEAST thirteen years ago.
To date, their efforts have resulted in more than 125,000 pounds of food donated to those in need, with each food drive supplying the food pantry for months at a time.
