Summer Update for Tampa Gluten Free Food Pantry

Tampa Gluten Free Food Pantry would like to thank Gluten Free Friends of Tampa, the Tampa Celiac Support Group, and the Largo Gluten Free for Life Support Group for their recent donations of nonperishable gluten free foods.  Many people took the time, effort, and money to purchase a few GF foods to donate at the blue food bin at Nutrition S'Mart of Carrollwood and we appreciate that!  We will continue to leave the blue food bin at the store so that people can continue to help Gluten Free families in need!  Also Katrina Tiller, Coordinator for Tampa Gluten Free Food Pantry, will continue to attend support group meetings to collect gluten free food donations.

Right now all donations to the Tampa Gluten Free Food Pantry are going to the Gluten Free Food Pantry section at the emergency food market (Metro Market) at Metropolitan Ministries here in Tampa.  In the future, we hope to coordinate with several other emergency food pantries in the area as well.  If anyone has any suggestions for future locations of the Tampa Gluten Free Food Pantry, please e-mail Katrina Tiller at glutenfreefriendsoftampa@gmail.com.  

Thank you again for all of your support!  Here is a photo taken today when Katrina brought donations to put on the shelves at Metropolitan Ministries!

  1. Wow! Seems lots of stock foods but if you don't have enough place to put on better to have pantry doors having layers at the back. Thank you!

    1. Thank you for your suggestion! We have occasionally stored extra GF food donations in a storage area/closet at the back of main part of the food pantry at Metropolitan Ministries. However, most of the time, we do not have that many donations so the shelves will hold all of the GF donations.
