JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Farm Share, Florida’s leading food nonprofit and the state’s largest food bank is set to distribute food to food-insecure Floridians in the Jacksonville area.

With more than 3.9 million families suffering from food insecurity throughout Florida, Farm Share meets the everyday hunger needs of Floridians by partnering with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that would otherwise be discarded due to aesthetic imperfections.

Farm Share also distributes food to the community through its extensive network of soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, churches, and senior centers across Florida at no cost. To find a food pantry near you, please visit www.farmshare.org/food-pantries.
