In the Spirit of Holiday Giving Distasio Law Firm Donates to Feeding Tampa Bay Assistance Program

As the repercussions of COVID-19 continue to affect people in Tampa Bay, our team at Distasio Law Firm wanted to do our part and give back to the community in a time of great need. The holidays can be hard for families who are struggling to make ends meet or even get food on the table. With multiple local businesses closed or at threat of shutting down, some people in the Tampa Bay area have been left unemployed for extended periods of time.

This December, in the spirit of holiday giving, Distasio Law Firm donated $500 to the Feeding Tampa Bay assistance program. This marks our second donation to the charity this year.

Distasio Law Firm Rose to the Occasion When COVID-19 Began Affecting People’s Finances

Our law firm first donated to Feeding Tampa Bay back in June 2020 after noticing the effects COVID-19 had on families and individuals in both Tampa and the rest of the nation. Several lockdowns occurred throughout the United States, putting a strain on small businesses and, in some cases, halting business altogether for certain industries, such as tourism and hospitality. Unemployment rates soared in nearly every state, and some people continue to be unemployed even now in December.

Despite some businesses being reopened to the public, the economy continues to be an issue for many Americans, including people in Tampa. The holidays can be hard-hitting for low-income families in any given year, but the COVID-19 pandemic has brought on new struggles, especially for single-parent households who have the additional concern of taking care of children at home.

As the economic impact of COVID-19 persists in the United States, Distasio Law Firm wants to continue our support to those in need in our area. We hope our donations can help people get the food they need to feed their families and enjoy a better holiday.

Feeding Tampa Bay Helps Keep Their Neighbors Healthy

Feeding Tampa Bay is a charitable organization that dedicates itself to feeding people in West Central Florida. Last year, the organization served over 65 million meals. This year, with COVID-19 putting millions of more people in need in the United States, the organization aims to expand its services. On their website, they currently pledge to:

• Increase their weekly meal distribution from one to two million meals per week
• Offer prepared meal options for families
• Increase their food distribution at the Trinity Cafe to 15,000 hot meals per week

Feeding Tampa Bay also helps distribute meals to children who need food between school meals, elderly residents or disabled persons who cannot leave their home to receive meals, and other food insecure or low-income communities.

Distasio Law Firm chose to support this program because it continues to work hard to help feed our community even when times get tough. Feeding Tampa Bay remains transparent with their donations, asserting that 98% of all donations go straight to the food assistance programs.
