The Center for Manifestation (CFM) is a church in Tampa that runs a food pantry open to community members in need. One visitor shared that they came to sign up for free food and the process was easy and fast.
CFM is a large church campus with several buildings that serve the community. Along with the food pantry, the campus includes an Empowerment House that provides haircuts, showers, food, and clothing for church members and people experiencing homelessness. There's also a women's home, a boys' shelter, an elder care facility, a daycare, and a property with tiny homes for veterans.
The pantry distributes food boxes to visitors. The Empowerment House on the same campus also provides food and clothing.
Visitors can come to sign up and then return later to pick up their food box. One visitor noted they signed up in the morning and returned at 4:30 to collect their box.
The campus offers a range of community services beyond food, including:
