The TC Palm is reporting that youth volunteers throughout Florida’s Treasure Coast region are teaming up with their local food bank in order to support the “Kids Feeding Kids Student Food Drive”.

The Treasure Coast Food Bank was one of 6 food banks across the nation who received a grant from Tyson Foods that would be connected to helping youth volunteers from several schools team up with their local food bank and put on a food drive designed to help children in need.

Schools throughout the area are doing all they can to make sure that kids from their K-12 schools are participating in this great activity sponsored by Tyson Foods and the local food banks.

A great idea by the kids in Port Lucie, Florida and a great gift from Tyson Foods to fuel the success of this food drive!
