Broward County and the City of Pembroke Pines are collaborating with Farm Share to provide a free Drive-Thru Food Distribution Event aimed at supporting local residents facing food insecurity. This initiative, spearheaded by District 7 Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis, will take place on November 8, 2023, from 10:00 to 13:00, or until supplies are exhausted.
The event will be held at the South Florida State Hospital Grounds, located at 800 Cypress Drive in Pembroke Pines. Organizers expect a high turnout, as eligible residents can access essential food supplies without adding financial strain to their households. Volunteers and staff will be on-site to facilitate a smooth distribution process, directing vehicles through designated lanes to ensure minimal contact and promote safety.
Residents interested in participating are encouraged to register in advance at BrowardFarmShare.eventbrite.com. Registration will help streamline the distribution process and ensure that as many families as possible receive assistance. The event underscores the community’s commitment to supporting those in need during challenging times.
Additionally, community members who wish to volunteer for the distribution are invited to contact District 7 at 954-357-7007. This provides an opportunity for individuals to contribute to the welfare of their neighbors and engage in meaningful service.
The collaboration between Broward County, Pembroke Pines, and Farm Share reflects a broader effort to combat food insecurity in the region. As economic pressures continue to affect many families, initiatives like this are essential in providing immediate relief and fostering community resilience.
