JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida’s largest food bank is holding a series of drive-thru food distribution events across Northeast Florida this week for residents struggling to make ends meet.
Farm Share will host a half-dozen such events to provide food-insecure families with fresh produce and non-perishable goods, starting on Wednesday with a food distribution in Jacksonville’s Urban Core.

The nonprofit organization routinely works with farmers to make use of produce that would otherwise go to waste. The goal is to help the nearly 4 million Floridians suffering from food insecurity.
With COVID-19 infections surging in Florida, this week’s events will be drive-thru only to minimize close contact. Face masks are required and attendees must bring a vehicle with a trunk or cargo bed.
