ALL FAITHS FOOD BANK
PLATINUM WINNER
MOST IMPACTFUL PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATION DURING AND AFTER THE STORMS
OTHER 2025 RECOGNITION:
HONORABLE MENTION
BEST LOCAL NON-PROFIT
We are immensely honored to have been selected by the readers of SRQ Magazine to be recognized not only for our work after last year’s hurricanes, but also as one of our community’s top nonprofit organizations. Ensuring each and every neighbor has access to nutritious food has never been more critical, and we invite all of SRQ’s readers to join us in this effort.
— All Faiths Food Bank President and CEO Nelle S. Miller.
ALL FAITHS FOOD BANK IS FEEDING HOPE IN TIMES OF UNPRECEDENTED NEED.
When hurricanes batter our coast or floods sweep through neighborhoods, All Faiths Food Bank is among the first to arrive — delivering food, water and essential supplies to the hardest-hit communities, so families can recover and rebuild. That commitment to being there when it matters most is why All Faiths was named Most Impactful Philanthropic Organization During and After the Storms, along with an honorable mention for Best Nonprofit in this year’s Best of SRQ Local awards.
Serving Sarasota and DeSoto counties, All Faiths is the region’s largest hunger relief organization — and the only food bank. Each year, it provides more than 20 million meals through programs and partnerships with hundreds of local charitable organizations. But the work doesn’t stop when the skies clear. The food bank helps families facing food insecurity year-round — whether from storm damage, the loss of government benefits or the rising cost of living. With the July budget reconciliation bill slashing funding for SNAP and Medicaid, demand for food assistance is surging as grocery prices and inflation continue to stretch household budgets.
A recent report shows 43% of Sarasota households earn less than what’s needed to cover basic necessities. Last year, more than 80,000 people turned to All Faiths for help — yet nearly 220,000 people in our community still need food. During this critical time, your support matters more than ever. Donate, volunteer, attend events like the Autumn Harvest Dinner (Oct. 24) and Bowls of Hope (Nov. 9), or organize a fundraiser. Every dollar you give feeds not only families, but hope.
