With an unprecedented rise in unemployment, schools closed, and resources limited, the number of people in our greater community who are without food has continued to grow. The Palm Beach Civic Association recognized a critical need and a way to help our local farmers and provide healthy food for the growing number of people in need.
We stepped in and you stepped up.
Save Our Produce raised $200,000 and provided 18,000 boxes of fresh produce to the Palm Beach County Food Bank for distribution to the food insecure in our community.
