Partnering with the largest grocer in south Florida could amount to much
larger food donations. Feeding south Florida isn’t dependent on corporate
type backers but it would be a great direction to head in.

are willing to help therefore, there is not a typically job or
position to offer

innovative and effective ways to bring much needed fresh
produce into areas that have been deemed food-deserts

EFFECTIVENESS

8. VISUAL BREAKDOWN
Over the past two years, we have seen an
increase in the reliance on emergency food
programs by 39%. Families and individuals
who were once donors are now standing in
line at soup kitchens and food pantries.
Those in need of food assistance include
children, the working poor, older adults,
veterans, physically and mentally disabled,
and the homeless. Hunger does not
discriminate.

9.  Donate Funds
 For every $1 raised, Feeding South Florida can provide 6 meals to
those in need of food assistance. There are several ways YOU can
