Solivita Friends Helping Those in NEED 

ABOUT US 

Solivita Friends Helping Those in NEED was formed in January 2018. We support St. Ann's Food Pantry, located at 1001 S. 10th St., Haines City. The pantry has been in existence since 2002, providing food to low income families, ESL language classes, gifts for children in need at Christmas, and temporary shelter for the homeless. Funds were distributed in 2020 from the Polk United Grant. 

The funds we raise here in Solivita are a lifeline for the food pantry. It helps them buy food in bulk from Feeding Tampa Bay, Polk County's local partner of the FEEDING AMERICA national food assistance program.

Many of our club members volunteer at the food pantry, however you do not have to be a member of our club to volunteer at the panty. Help is needed Monday through Friday, with Wednesday being the food distribution drive-thru day. We welcome new volunteers all year long, especially during the summer months when our seasonal residents head north and full time residents do more traveling.

For more information about joining our club, contact any board member. You can also call St. Ann's Food Pantry at 863-419-4819 to volunteer. 

We offer 5 food drop-off locations in Solivita if you wish to donate food, diapers (sizes 1-6) & baby wipes.
