OverviewTake a little time out of your vacation to volunteer and meet some extraordinary locals. Just a few hours of your time will immensely help those who have dedicated their lives to mediating food insecurity in the Key West area - and there is nothing more rewarding than getting to know these Florida locals. Find a purpose to your vacation with a half day visit to Key West's Star of the Sea Food Pantry. The Star of the Sea (SOS) Foundation helps the local community; distributing food through their county-wide network of food pantries, preparing meals for children and the elderly at their community kitchen, and promoting healthier eating through nutrition education and by providing healthier food to those in need. Volunteers have become an important part of this operation which facilitates hunger relief efforts in Monroe County, Florida. You will be lending a helping hand to a wonderful organization and after, you can soak up some sun on the beach. - From the cruise pier, the taxi will take about 15-20 minutes each way and cost $25 each way. - Closed-toe shoes and a hat are required.
