Overview
Mission
Our Mission Is to End Hunger in Palm Beach County Since the pandemic began we have been giving 150+ lbs. of eggs, milk, fish, meat, cheese, bread, vegetables and canned goods to 12,000+ families a week. Volunteers Hundreds of neighbors volunteer to help from qualifying applicants, to sorting meat, to bagging produce, to making reminder calls. We also mentor dozens of smaller, mostly ethnic churches that are better able to reach the poor, especially in the Haitian, Hispanic, and African American communities. Feed the Hungry coordinates with other agencies to stop duplication and regularly provides our families with information about agencies that are better fit to assist them.
What it reported doing in 2025
