LAND O’LAKES — United Way of Pasco County is rolling out a new program named Operation Feed Pasco that utilizes local restaurants to help local food pantries and soup kitchens supply food for residents. The program is operated in collaboration with the Pasco County Commission.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, there are a growing number of people going hungry. In addition, due to social-distancing restrictions, many restaurants are suffering.

United Way of Pasco has been asked by Pasco County to develop and implement a program to help feed people while employing Pasco-based restaurants, event centers, and caterers. 

Over the next two months, UWPC plans to work with various nonprofit agencies and restaurants to bring thousands of meals to residents. 

Through funding from the county, UWPC will pay for meals from local restaurants to be distributed through food pantries and soup kitchens. Meals will be from the restaurants’ existing menus and will be served hot to clients.
