"Providing emergency food to needy families, elderly, and the homeless in our community."

The Lutheran Church of Our Saviour has a long history in helping the needy.  Kaye Prox began this ministry in the 70's and worked tirelessly until her death in 2002.

The Kaye Prox Food Bank now serves 90 to 100 families a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:00 pm until 4:30 pm.  We also server the area 30-40 homeless on the same days.  Home deliveries are provided to the most needy in our community twice a month.

This volunteer ministry is unique because we have joined forces with three other churches.  Incarnation Catholic Church, First Reformed Presbyterian and Wesley Memorial United Methodist are all full partners in our effort to relieve the hunger in our community.  Our partner churches do monthly food drives, monetary donations and provide valued volunteers.  we also have volunteers from the community that may not have a church affiliation or are not a member of a partner church.  The requirement of being a volunteer is "a desire to help the needy."

The Kaye Prox Food Bank is a member of America's Second Harvest and Tampa Bay Harvest.  This affiliation helps us obtain food at handling fee prices and food that would normally be destroyed.

Volunteer opportunities are available outside the food bank hours.  We need people to make sandwiches for the homeless, pickup bakery items from Publix on Mondays and Fridays and help when we have a food delivery...
