No contribution is too small Every food drive, fund drive, and monetary gift makes a difference in providing meals for our neighbors in need. Ms. Morisset, Boynton Beach Community High School Science Teacher, showed that when she inspired her chapter of National Honor Society students to give back this spring. Between February and April, Morisset motivated her students to gather food to fill two of our three-foot tall food drive cardboard bins. The students collected 61 pounds of food to provide 51 meals for our Partner Marketplace partner agencies! Ms. Morisset says, “We hope to increase this number even more so next school year!” You can start a food drive tod ay. It’s easy. After filling out the Food Bank’s food drive request form on our website, our Community Engagement Coordinator, will reach out to assist you with collection bins, picking up your donations, and setting up your fund drive page if you are raising funds.

Breaking Ground In collaboration with United Way of Palm Beach County and Palm Beach County, transformational, groundbreaking growth is in store this year for the Palm Beach County Food Bank with the hunger relief expansion project underway! On May 2022, we were awarded funding to expand the capacity of the food bank's food distribution for our partner schools, church's, shelters, and nonprofits. The food bank expansion project will also include culinary job training, a produce processing facility, additional storage space, and a larger volunteer center. By August 2022, the food bank secured the warehouse space next to our current facility. At that time, we began working with architects, engineers, subcontractors, and the design team at Cheney Brothers to create a facility to meet the needs of our community. Following permit approvals, we hope construction will start in the Spring of 2023!
