Broward County and the City of Pembroke Pines are collaborating with Farm Share to address food insecurity through a free Drive-Thru Food Distribution Event. Scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2023, the initiative aims to support residents facing financial challenges by providing essential food supplies.
The distribution will take place at the South Florida State Hospital Grounds, located at 800 Cypress Drive, Pembroke Pines. The event will run from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm or until supplies are exhausted. This effort, led by Broward County District 7 Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis, allows eligible residents to access food without adding financial strain to their budgets.
Participants will receive food in a controlled, drive-thru setting, ensuring safety and efficiency. Volunteers will guide vehicles through designated lanes, allowing for minimal contact during the distribution process. Residents interested in attending are encouraged to register in advance at BrowardFarmShare.eventbrite.com.
The event also presents an opportunity for community involvement. Individuals who wish to volunteer can contact District 7 at 954-357-7007. This initiative not only aims to alleviate hunger but also fosters a spirit of community engagement during challenging times.
As food insecurity continues to affect many, events like this are crucial in providing immediate support to those in need. The collaboration between Broward County, Pembroke Pines, and Farm Share highlights the importance of community partnerships in addressing pressing social issues.
