“We truly have a movement happening here in the Nature Coast,” explains Barbara Sprague, CEO/Executive Director of the CFB. “The tremendous generosity of our donors and volunteers allows us to meet the growing need for food assistance. 70,000 people each month are fed…that’s 70,000 men, women, children, and seniors who do not have to go to bed, school, or work hungry. We simply could not do what we do without your generous investment in the prosperity of our community!”
