HUNGER BUS, INC.
PUNTA GORDA, FLORIDA

HUNGER BUS, INC., established on December 28, 2013, in Punta Gorda, Florida, operates as an integral part of the Faiths Against Hunger movement. This initiative is a dynamic North American network that unites various faith-based communities to address poverty through collaborative efforts and volunteer-driven programs. Their flagship project includes creating sustainable soup kitchen operations like 1 World Community Café, which aims to provide hot, nutritious meals with dignity for those in need, including seniors who may avoid traditional soup kitchens due to stigma. The meals are prepared by a rotating group of volunteers, and any surplus is distributed via the Hunger Van, reinforcing the organization's commitment to continuous daily feeding programs. The overarching mission extends beyond providing food; it seeks to foster awareness and facilitate dialogue surrounding hunger and poverty issues across communities. By engaging in grass-roots actions, HUNGER BUS INC facilitates communal growth and understanding among diverse congregations. Through its website (hungerbus.com) and leadership under President Charles B. Smith, Vice President Michael P. Haymans, and Director Michael Balsamo, the organization emphasizes education and mobilization of both Muslim communities and broader civilian involvement in combating homelessness and hunger in North America.
