LLa despensa Light of Hope es un salvavidas para muchas personas en nuestra comunidad de West Tampa y vecindarios cercanos que están lidiando con la inseguridad alimentaria, el hambre y dificultades económicas.

Atendemos a familias, personas mayores y todo tipo de personas que vienen a nosotros en busca de alimento y esperanza.

Actualmente, nuestra despensa de alimentos NO está abierta. Pedimos disculpas por cualquier inconveniente que esto pueda haber causado.

Dependiendo de nuestras donaciones, podemos proporcionar alimentos que contienen productos nutritivos y no perecederos esenciales como enlatados, productos secos y donaciones de pan o productos horneados. También ofrecemos oración y sugerencias de recursos para quienes buscan esperanza y consuelo.

Nuestra despensa de alimentos depende de las generosas donaciones de los miembros de nuestra iglesia, individuos y organizaciones externas. Sin su ayuda, no podemos continuar con esta labor vital de alimentar a los hambrientos y compartir el amor de Dios. Su donación, sin importar el monto, hará una gran diferencia en la vida de muchas personas.

"Porque tuve hambre, y me diste de comer; tuve sed, y me diste de beber; fui forastero, y me recibiste" Mateo 25:35
