As the holidays approach, the need for food is greater than ever. United Way of Palm Beach County works collaboratively with local partners to assist the community, from supplying weekend meal bags for children to home meal delivery for senior citizens.
A robust food pantry system is the best way to ensure people can access emergency food. Pantries rely mainly on food from local food banks and other donations. Inflation and the end of many COVID-era food programs have decreased contributions and food available through the emergency food system. Support your local food bank and pantry system through food donations.
The Palm Beach County Food Finder Map is an interactive tool that connects residents with food resources and social service agencies that provide hot meals, food pantry groceries, and SNAP application assistance, and now includes Thanksgiving meal sites!
