Pollo Tropical is honoring teachers throughout May by giving 15 teachers from 15 counties free Pollo Tropical for a year through its Teacher of the Year campaign.

The winning teachers from each county are the ones with the most nominations from students and parents in their respective county.

For those who nominate a teacher, you will get a free small Pollo Tropical Tropichop with any drink purchase.

All public, private or charter school teachers in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties are eligible to be entered.

Tampa, Florida --  The U.S. Postal Service and its letter carriers ask Tampa residents to join them and the rest of the nation in combating one of the U.S' growing problems, hunger, by leaving food at your mailboxes on Saturday, May 12. 

According to USPS, this one-day food drive is the nation’s largest single-day food drive across America — including Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- In an effort to save lives in the Tampa Bay community, Outback Steakhouse is partnering with Florida Blood Services for Operation Donate Blood.
