It’s big, it’s green and it’ll be in town Monday (May 14).

The giant Patch RV—31 feet long and 8 feet wide—has been lumbering its way through the 19 Tampa Bay towns we cover on a mission to gather a ton of food for Feeding America Tampa Bay while raising awareness about Patch.

On Monday, Patch staff will stop by the businesses in Temple Terrace that have partnered with us for the Patch Give-A-Ton Food Drive. We’re also setting up at Café Kili from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. to introduce new readers to Patch, give out freebies and collect cans of food for the drive.

Stop by, meet an editor and take part in some of our sweet Patch giveaways!

Business owners can also learn how to claim their listings and gain insights on how to enhance their online presence on and off Patch.

Together we hope to raise one TON of food, so we need your help. And we’re looking forward to meeting you!

While the Patch RV is only in town for a day, you can take part in the Give-A-Ton Food Drive through May 31 by dropping off nonperishable food donations at these participating businesses:

• Animal Diagnostic & Wellness Center
• Business Ink Printing
• Café Kili
• Chatenbury Place Salon, Spa & Boutique
• Felicitous Independent Coffee House
