I traveled about 20 miles to leave food. It was raining and no one answered the door in mid afternoon. It was then I realized the lone hardworking gentlemen was easily multitasking. Was able to leave the food. Add four stars to the one.

This is the only foodbank in Marion County that is part of the Feeding America network. They are not open to the public, Only to the pantries and soup kitchen in Marion county FL. If you are in need of food, please seek out the pantries. There are several throughout the county. First Step actually services about 48 of them. Hope that helps!
