All nine mayors – including Venice Mayor Ron Feinsod-- and both County Commission Chairs in Sarasota and Manatee counties support the Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program
Local food pantries are reporting an alarming increase in the need for food assistance. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, over $50,000 in food gift cards has been donated to hungry families by local food pantries. Each food gift card is $10 – one per individual, with a maximum of 4 per family. Food gift cards allow people to shop with dignity, providing them the chance to purchase food items they might not otherwise have been able to afford.
The Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program is asking for the public’s help to raise another $50,000, which is desperately needed.
Donations can be made online, by text, by check or in person.
-
To donate online, go to www.mayorsfeedthehungry.org
- To donate by text, text the word GIVE to 941-275-2032
- To donate by mail, send a check to Mayors’ Feed the Hungry, P.O. Box 1992, Sarasota, FL 34230
-
To donate in person, drop off food at a Mayors’ Feed the Hungry food pantry. Please contact the food pantry to arrange a food drop-off. Please DO NOT bring donations to Venice City Hall.

We have been open now for 90 days and we have never been more determined to keep you continuing to feel safe as you enter our doors.
We’ve been so thankful for each and every one of you! The positive feedback has been so supportive and wonderful both in person as well as online. We love to hear what you have to say!
Our safety procedures aren’t a trend or fad, they are a permanent part of JGS to ensure everyone feels comfortable in the salon. Safety is the new luxury.
Those of you that have been into our salons have seen our safety protocols in action. We installed partitions at the shampoo bowls and between hair stations, so your stylist can be available to you as much as possible and continue sanitizing between every client. We are still upholding the mandatory mask requirement with in our locations, temperature checks, and hand sanitizing stations in the waiting area and on stations until further notice. We appreciate your cooperation. We will also continue to do monthly building sanitation with our friends at “Gorilla Kleen” who use a special antibacterial formula that lasts a month!
This is all new territory for everyone and we could not be more proud of our JGS team. It is a time like this when it takes a team to help make all this happen. We are focused on doing what is safe for all and continue to monitor the CDC guidelines, as well as our local community and industry guidelines.
