TAMPA, Fla. — ABC Action News, Feeding Tampa Bay and more are teaming up this August to help "Pack the Pantries" at area schools to make sure all kids have enough food for a successful academic year.
"These are the sweetest peppers in the world!" said Camille, a student at Sulphur Springs K-8.

The mission here and at schools all over Tampa Bay? Tackling food insecurity and making sure every student has enough nutrition to help them learn and live
There’s also a busy food pantry here for Sulphur Springs students and families in need.
“In everything we do, we’re better together. We have over 70 food pantries at schools all over tampa bay, and we want to make sure they stay full all year long!" said Shannon Hannah Oliviero with Feeding Tampa Bay.
Starting this week, ABC Action News and Feeding Tampa Bay are teaming up with you to help stock school food pantries all over Tampa Bay. We’re calling it Pack the Pantries.
Oliviero says a little love goes a long way.
"Right now with Pack the Pantries, one dollar equals five meals, so every donation you make makes a huge difference in these children's lives," she added.
Pack the Pantries runs until August 18.
