Description:
The Kaye Prox Food Bank began with the efforts of Kaye Prox, a member of the Lutheran Church of Our Saviour in Town ‘n Country in Tampa, Florida. She started this ministry in the 1970's and worked tirelessly until her death in 2002. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, the food bank serves individuals and families in need from Town ‘n Country, Westchase, Citrus Park, and Northdale and also provides support for the area’s homeless. The food bank is an ecumenical organization. The actual food pantry is located in the Lutheran Church of our Saviour in Town ‘n Country but the organization functions with the full partnership of Incarnation Catholic Church, First Reformed Church of Tampa, Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, Wellspring United Methodist Church and Westtown Presbyterian Church, and with involvement of other local churches and volunteers from the community. The Kaye Prox Food Bank is a small organization that is having a big impact. In 2013, the food bank served an average of nearly 290 people each week, along with the area’s 30-40 homeless. All this for less than $2.85 per visit per person.
