About Feeding America Florida
An IRS-verified 501(c)(3) supporting food-assistance work from Miami to the Panhandle — with specialized hurricane and disaster-response coordination.
Feeding America Florida is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 93-3176598) focused on food-assistance work across Florida — from the Keys and Miami to Tampa, Jacksonville, and the Panhandle. We surface every verified food pantry, SNAP office, WIC location, and meal program in Florida through a free searchable directory powered by our parent organization Feed America’s platform.
Florida’s food-insecurity challenges span coastal cities, inland communities, and hurricane-affected regions. We aggregate data from USDA primary sources, state agencies, and community partners so families can find help in seconds — critical when disaster disrupts normal routes to food.
The directory is free, requires no login, and never sells user data. Every resource is listed on equal terms — no paid placements, no promoted listings. Our entity record is independently verifiable through IRS Tax Exempt Search, Candid, ProPublica, and Charity Navigator.
How we fit in the Feed America family
Feeding America Florida (EIN 93-3176598) is a state-focused affiliate of Feed America (EIN 92-1761881), the Houston-founded 501(c)(3) that operates the nationwide directory at feedam.org. The parent runs the technology and the national dataset; this entity exists so that Florida-directed gifts, grants, and partnerships can be received and attributed at the state level. Each organization is independently registered with the IRS — verify either EIN at IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search.
