Managed by the Florida Association for Community Action, Inc. (FACA), the Florida Community Food & Nutrition Hunger Hotline is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Florida Department of Community Affairs. Founded in 1980, FACA is a non-profit federation of Community Action Agencies, Head Start, and Weatherization programs.
The Florida Community Food and Nutrition Hotline Program has been discontinued due to loss of Federal funding. Future Hotline calls should be forwarded to 2-1-1 Information Line. The Online Hunger Database referrals to food and other resources remains available on FACA’s Web site at www.faca.org. You may also contact FACA at (813) 540-8580.
The Florida Community Food and Nutrition Hotline Program, managed by FACA, was funded by a grant from the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The Hunger Hotline directed callers to emergency food resources such as soup kitchens, churches, and food pantries in their community. Recipients were provided details on food stamps centers, government commodities, and a variety of meal programs for specific groups such as senior citizens, mothers, and farm workers.
