By METALCON.
This year METALCON has partnered with Feeding Tampa Bay for their annual "Give Back” campaign in support of the local Tamp Bay community where METALCON 2021 will take place. Feeding Tampa Bay is part of the national Feeding America network that puts food on the tables of over one million food insecure families in the 10-county area of West Central Florida. METALCON has been dedicated to giving back since 1995 and has continued to donate goods, services and funds to non-profit organizations each year. Hunger and food insecurity is an a more urgent crises than ever due to the pandemic. By partnering with Feeding Tampa Bay, METALCON has an opportunity to take on the cause of hunger in a meaningful way.
Hunger affects everyday people, every day. Most people live paycheck to paycheck and financial safety nets are not a guarantee. Losing a job due to COVID-19, an economic downturn or a natural disaster could mean choosing between feeding the family versus paying the rent or making necessary hurricane-related repairs versus buying groceries. The unexpected can drastically alter someone’s circumstances – and Feeding Tampa Bay is here to help.
Food insecurity can affect anyone: our neighbors, coworkers, the elderly and classmates. Many people who need our help work hard day in and day out, but are one layoff, tragedy or natural disaster away from needing assistance. We embrace our similarities and differences alike to reinforce the strength of our impact. Feeding Tampa Bay honors and serves all neighbors compassionately and free of prejudice.
Every dollar donated equals exponential meals, bringing Feed Tampa Bay closer to a hunger-free Tampa Bay by 2025.
Fundraising has already begun for METALCON. You can donate online or on-site at METALCON. All donations (minimum $20) will be entered into METALCON’s daily raffle drawing for a chance to win some amazing prizes (you must be present at the show to win).
