Overview
- Palm Beach County Food Bank partnered with the county and United Way to run a drive-through distribution Friday at John Prince Park in Lake Worth Beach.
- Volunteers loaded cars with nonperishables, protein, and fresh produce from 10 a.m. to noon on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Cars entered at 4759 Congress Ave., with a two-household maximum per vehicle to stretch limited supplies.
- Organizers prepared food for about 1,000 households as lines formed as early as 6 a.m., and demand exceeded available supplies according to the food bank.
- A federal judge ordered full SNAP funding for November, yet many of the roughly 160,000 county recipients had not received benefits, prompting calls for volunteers and donations to sustain local relief.
