Boys and Girls Club of Tampa
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation
and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children
are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to
know that someone cares about them.
Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services
promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling
a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow -- all while having
fun. It is truly---- The Positive Place For Kids.

Some 30 years ago, our founders evisioned the good that real food can do. They understood intivitively that real
food has the power to do more that fill us up with calories. It can create postive change in ourselves in the world.
This sparked the epihany that led us to explore nutrition from simple whole grains. We discovered that, when
combined, whole grains can provide progressive nutrition, even protein, while minimizing impact on the planet.
Seven whole grains later, we liked where this was going. That was 1984 and the start of our 7 Whole Grains and
Sesame blend. Today we will seek out ingredients for there specfic taste, texture and nutritional benifits - like
protein, fiber and a variety of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients not found in most single- grain foods. With the
dream of healthier living for all, we ended up culivating a food movement. Our approach to progressive nutrition
from real ingredients still inpsires the foods we make and our mission to nourish people and planet.
