There is never any charge to our partners for food or delivery. Together, we are building a safety net that stretches across Palm Beach County.
How You Can Help
The need is great, but so is the power of collective action. Every person in our community can play a role in fighting hunger.
• Volunteer: From helping pack meal bags for children and seniors to volunteering to help with events, there are opportunities for making a difference.
• Host a Food Drive: Schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and civic groups can rally together to collect canned goods, pasta, rice, and other staples. These items go directly to the Food Bank’ s shelves and into the hands of families in need. come from. Whether you give your time, organize a food drive, or make a financial contribution, your support matters.
Because when we feed our community, we feed possibility. And when we join together, there is more than enough for everyone.
