Daily Bread Food Bank

Daily Bread Food Bank, a not-for-profit organization, empowers other South Florida not-for-profit organizations to feed needy people and improve their lives. We do this by providing food and other grocery products; and by educating and engaging our community to fight hunger and poverty.

Description:
We provide food and other grocery items to over 800 agencies in South Florida, including 125 agencies in Palm Beach County that provide feeding programs for the needy. Those agencies include soup kitchens that provide prepared meals for those in need; food pantries that distribute food for preparation elsewhere; daycare centers that provide meals to needy children; shelters for those who are homeless, abused or abandoned and residential facilities for the elderly, people struggling with addiction, suffering from AIDS and those with physical or mental handicaps. 43% of the recipients of food from Daily Bread Food Bank are children, 12% are over 65 years old and 16% have physical or mental disabilities. Each month we distribute enough food to supply 90,000 meals to those suffering in poverty.
