Cornell Cares Day: All Faiths Food Bank
Sadly hunger hurts our most vulnerable:
children, seniors and veterans.
In 2015, 33% of households in Sarasota and
58% of households in DeSoto couldn't afford basic needs such
as housing, childcare, food, health care, and transportation.
Cornell Cares Day brings together Cornellians
and friends around the world in a day of community service.
The All Faiths Food Bank (AFFB) was founded by a group of local organizations who combined efforts in 1989 to incorporate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since then, AFFB has been the only Food Bank serving Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. It has been a Certified Member of Feeding America since 1990.
