At Blue Collar Roofing, we believe in giving back to our community. As part of our
commitment to serve, we’ve partnered with the local organization Feeding Empty Little
Tummies (FELT). Learn more about them by checking out their Website
FELT is Manatee County’s original backpack program, designed to help put an end to
child hunger. The organization is dedicated to feeding Manatee County’s most needy –
or homeless and food-insecure students – one backpack at a time.
While these children typically receive free breakfast and lunch at school, they’re often
not sure where their meals will come from when they go home on the weekends.
On Fridays, FELT provides each of the students enrolled in the program with a backpack
filled with nutritious foods to hold them over until they return to school on Monday.
Each time you purchase a roof from Blue Collar Roofing, we’ll donate a percentage of
the cost to FELT.
Our goal is to donate a total of $500,000 in the first five years. This the
amount needed to feed all of the children currently in their program for a full year.
In addition to our annual commitment, we’re also providing hands-on help by assisting
with packing backpacks, holding food drives at our office and other private events, and
more.
You can help further FELT’s mission by making a donation today!
