TAMPA – Tampa Bay Sun FC players and coaches, along with dozens of community volunteers, sorted and packaged over 16,000 pounds of food, which will provide nearly 14,000 meals through Feeding Tampa Bay.
This initiative is part of the Sun’s ongoing Season of Giving campaign. The team wants to ensure families in need have access to nutritious food during the holiday season.
Defender Brooke Hendrix, who leads the player-led Servant Heart group, emphasized the team’s dedication to community service.
“We all come together as players to determine how we can better serve our community and each other,” Hendrix said. “We wouldn’t be here without the community. It’s nice [that our supporters] give so much to us, so we want to pay it forward.”
To further support local hunger relief efforts, the Sun has partnered with Feeding Tampa Bay and Seeds of Hope to host donation boxes at Riverfront Stadium during recent home matches.
The team encourages fans and community members to continue their support by participating in Holidays in The Sun during the team’s next home match on Dec. 14.
