FFT Vacation Rental Food Drive
We are excited to share a new program we are launching this week:
The Food For Thought Vacation Rental Food Drive!
To launch this food drive, we have partnered with Newman-Dailey Resort Properties, where they will be leaving brown paper bags in condos, which will have information about Food For Thought, and provide guests the opportunity to leave any un-opened food they did not use during their stay.
The bags have printed information about Food For Thought, and will also give guests the opportunity to donate via text-to-give.
We are excited about this new opportunity to help cut down on food waste, and also utilize a new way to help those in need of food within our community.
If you are interested in learning more about this program, please contact us at: support@fftfl.org
