For more than 25 years, MWNFC has gratefully served as a trustworthy, dependable provider of food and family services in north Pinellas County. As the need and demand for our support continues to grow, we find ourselves in an unsustainable situation. We are busting at the seams – we can no longer effectively operate out of a 2,000 sq. ft. building and need more space!
Plans are underway to expand our main building at 1003 Dr. MLK Jr. St. N. (Our school at 1001 Dr. MLK Jr. St. N. will not be impacted.)
Your donation keeps us on track to expand our services to meet the growing needs, improve lives and makes our community stronger.
Thank you for allowing us to grow!
