Cook’s hat food pantry supplies food for families, children and veterans. We are located in Seminole Heights on the corner of Hillsborough Ave and Nebraska Ave in Tampa Florida. As a Christian food pantry we minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the community. All in need are welcome.
Our food pantry provides families with a few days emergency supply of food based on the size of their household. While their food is being assembled, helpers/volunteers interact one-to-one with the guest and share the gospel with those willing as well as intercede for them on behalf of their needs. Directions to Cook’s Hat Food Pantry
If you are in need of an emergency supply of food for your household, please contact the Mission Tampa office at (813) 236-6237.
Proper proof of identification is required for each household recipient in order to qualify for maximum assistance.
