Once again for 2023, the All Faith's Fund Drive was a huge success. You may recall that this popular initiative started out in 2016 with Heron Creek residents donating non-perishable food items to the All Faith's Food Bank for distribution to families in need throughout the North Port community. Following the Covid 19 Pandemic in 2021, the program was adjusted from a "Food Drive" to a "Fund Drive", so that we could continue to support the All Faith's mission without the concerns of expired groceries, contaminated packages, and other issues associated with the spread of disease. In its first two years, the HCCF All Faith's Fund Drive has raised $37,145, and the 2023 campaign,which ended on March 21st has raised an additional $13,590, bringing our total contibutions to date at over $50,000. The management team at All Faith's Food Bank indicates that our contributions have provided meals for more than 200,000 people over the years.
