Fifth Third Bank collects food in drive
To the editor:
Over 949,910 South Florida residents do not have consistent access to vital nutrition and food each and every day. To help reduce this number, Fifth Third Bank (South Florida) recently partnered with partnering with The Salvation Army to collect non-perishable food items at financial centers in Lee County through the annual “Feeding our Communities” food drive.
Fifth Third Bank (South Florida) collected 6,640 pounds of food exceeding its goal of 5,300 pounds. The food collected throughout the drive equals 26,560 meals for families in seven counties.
“Feeding our Communities” is a component of Fifth Third Day (May 3), an annual event when the bank celebrates its heritage by giving back to the community. Fifth Third Bank (South Florida)’s partnership with The Salvation Army serves to address the effects of critical issues plaguing the state: hunger and homelessness.
