The distribution is drive-thru only, requiring attendees to arrive in a vehicle with a trunk or cargo bed to ensure safety and minimize contact.
Farm Share plays a vital role in fighting food insecurity across the state, where more than 3.9 million families face hunger. The organization works with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that would otherwise be discarded due to cosmetic imperfections. Farm Share also provides food through a network of soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and senior centers across Florida at no cost.
