Food Banks & Pantries You Can Count On
Life happens — and sometimes we all need a little help. Whether you’re facing a tough season, know someone who could use support, or simply want to give back, these food banks and pantries in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County and Broward County are here to serve our community.
With the current government shutdown and reports of food benefits being cut or delayed, many families and individuals across South Florida are feeling the strain. Federal workers, contractors, and everyday people are facing uncertainty, from paychecks being paused to SNAP benefits reduced or interrupted.
From hot meals to grocery-pickup programs, these organizations provide essential resources with compassion and care.
Make sure you check by calling the food pantries to confirm that they still are in operation and the hours have not changed.
