Feed My Community of South Florida to Host Biggest Food Drive in Community History
Feed My Community of South Florida is making a huge difference in fighting hunger by putting together the largest food drive in South Florida community history. From September 9-15, 2013, over 25 South Palm Beach County agencies, organizations, schools and congregations will be collecting financial and in kind donations, as well as canned goods, dry rice and beans, and peanut butter.
With September being National Hunger Action Month, the food drive takes place at a great time to make hunger visible. Feed My Community is not only aiming to collect food supplies for local pantries, but also to "promote discussion and reflection and root causes of hunger in our communities and nation."
Donations collected will be brought to various food banks and pantries in the South Florida community by generous volunteers and Bekins of South Florida. Participating pantries include CROS Ministries, Jacobson Family Food Pantry, Boca Helping Hands, and the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Move For Hunger commends Feed My Community for their support to local food banks and the 212,000 people struggling with food insecurity in Palm Beach County.
