Give Food, Get Free Stuff in Palm Harbor

You may have seen our big, green Patch RV on the road over the past few weeks collecting food for hungry families. This week, it makes a last stop in Palm Harbor on Thursday, followed by a grand finale birthday party in Palm Harbor on Saturday!

We'd love for you to come say "hello," and we'd love it even more if you bring a canned food item for our ! (Our goal is to collect 2,000 pounds of food for hungry families in Tampa Bay.) 

Here's a schedule of where we'll be (and what's in it for you!):
