The Food Bank’s objective is to alleviate hunger, which in turn fortifies the will of individuals and families to succeed and improves their health. “Woodforest is pleased to support Suncoast Harvest Food Bank’s mission of ending hunger,” expressed Kim Marling, Executive Director & Vice President of Woodforest Charitable Foundation.  “Their dedication to the community is providing a critical necessity to thousands of individuals in need.”
