They do have a no refund policy though so just make sure that what you buy is something that you definitely want because they will not take it back even if you have the receipt. As I said I've had some bad experiences because of this but if it's something understandable Jeannine will make it right if you reach out to her through the email on their website. Have a blessed day everyone

I'm so glad I went and am thankful to FTB for bringing amazing value to my time there. Plenty of resources I had no idea were available. Top service also as my friend was ill, and despite no water stands or machines to purchase (they need to fix that next year!), they kindly got a water bottle for her to feel better. Great service!

From the moment we arrived, there was an immediate sense of community and purpose. The team at Feeding Tampa Bay are welcoming, dedicated and encouraging. They have created an efficient and respectful environment that allows families, colleagues and friends to work together for a great cause. I love that my young children are allowed to help out and feel valued. The new facility is HUGE with plenty of parking. There's also an area for volunteers to enjoy a beverage or snack. I encourage anyone looking to make a difference in Tampa Bay to get involved.

I had the pleasure of volunteering for my son's 5th grade Biztown trip and I was blown away. Junior…read moreAchievement has gone out of their way to create an interactive town to teach kids how the economy works. The town is built up with places like Tampa General Hospital, Brighthouse, GTE Credit Union, Bank of America, Publix, Kanes Furniture, Raymond James, TECO, Busch Gardens, City Hall, McDonalds and small businesses like travel agencies, and IT firms. Volunteers are required to watch 3 training videos and get an hour and a half training the morning of the biz town field trip. We are assigned a service or retail business where we assist the children with running the business. I wasn't pleased when I found out I was working in McDonalds since I don't eat there and had brought in a protein bar and water for lunch! The kids field trip fee includes a meal at McDonald's and the volunteers can get lunch for $3. Since everyone in town eats lunch in McDonald's my group of children (and myself) was busy the entire day! I worked with another volunteer and 9 children. I was impressed at how the CEO and CFO of our group got to work on printing payroll and their duties right away! The front line staff wasn't following their guide books on their own, but as the drill sergeant style momager I am i was very serious with the kids about making sure their jobs were being done correctly. We had to pitch in with serving drinks because our lines were getting backed up, but for the most part we just had to give the kids good direction and I showered them with plenty of praise! Some of the children had so much fun working that they wanted to work at McDonalds when they are older! This turned out to be such a rewarding experience!...I still didn't eat the food! What was cool about the children's experience is that they got paid 2 paychecks and had specific instructions on how they can spend their money. They had to deposit their checks, save a portion, donate to charity, pay bills and have money for snacks, lunch and to spend in the town. Everything had to be updated in their check register. The businesses took specific types of payments, like cash only, check only and credit/debit card only. These kids take BizTown seriously! They are exhausted after a busy work day. They have town hall meetings, they vote and work and play like real citizens of a town. The kids really learn how a town's economy runs, how important it is to do a good job at work, how to manage their finances and how it feels to be a responsible grown up. Parents do not get to help their own child for good reason. This teaches kids to work independently and with others without relying on their parents to pick up pieces for them. They learn to figure things out...and become enlightened on how stuff works. Parents are allowed to eat lunch with their child. The staff runs a tight ship, the facility is immaculate, and they do a great job running this program. I hope all Junior Achievement centers offer such service and support to kids across the America. Biztown should be a must for every child to experience.

Volunteers arrived by 8am for a training session prior to the students arriving. They had coffee and water available for visitors. Training began around 8:30am given the manual check in process which was unplanned and out of their control but the staff made the best of it and got everyone through. The JA staff was very friendly and attentive to the needs throughout the day. Great experience for students and volunteers! It's fun to see the kids work in real life experiences and balance their finances accordingly. Although this is a learning environment it's made fun and interactive with the students. Some of the students felt rushed given the time constraints of getting their work done along with dependence of their coworkers and the break schedules. Overall I believe everyone had a great time!
