To Stock St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry
Punta Gorda, FL, Oct 23, 2020 – It was a beautiful day for volunteers from TEAM Punta Gorda to hold a contactless food drive to benefit the food pantry at St. Vincent de Paul in Punta Gorda. Contributions of hygiene products and nonperishable food from residents, neighborhoods and businesses filled 11 large food hampers. These donations will help the local food pantry supply individuals with critically needed food and supplies
The event was chaired by TEAM Punta Gorda Board Vice President Betsy Spagnolo and was staffed by 11 volunteers across two shifts. “We at TEAM support our community and want it to be the best place to live,” Spagnolo said. “Seeing all of the wonderful donations and our volunteers working to collect them makes this a reality.”
This is the second contactless, drive-through food drive TEAM Punta Gorda has held this year. “Given the success of the two events, I think it is likely TEAM will hold additional food drives next year,” said Nancy Johnson, TEAM CEO.
TEAM Punta Gorda is a volunteer-driven organization committed to making the greater Punta Gorda area a great place to live, work, and play. TEAM volunteers focus on a wide variety of projects to enhance our friendly, quaint, historic waterside community.
