Help ABC Action News to 'Pack the Pantries' as kids prepare for back to school

That's why ABC Action News is teaming up with Feeding Tampa Bay and DFCU Financial for our annual "Pack the Pantries" initiative!

Feeding Tampa operates at nearly 80 schools across Tampa Bay to help kids in need. Last year, those pantries served over 2.5 million meals to students and families in need.

They also provide items like produce, meat, and snack breakfast items. We invite you to help us with our Pack the Pantries initiative. If you are interested in donating, click here.

Every dollar donated will help Feeding Tampa Bay provide five meals to families in need.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
