Farm Share, a nonprofit that aims to help food-insecure residents in Florida, will distribute free, fresh produce and non-perishable canned goods in Fruitland Park.

Organizers said the giveaway will be in partnership with Community United Methodist Church.

The April 5 event is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. and will be held in the church’s parking lot, located at:

309 College Avenue, Fruitland Park, Florida 34731

The event is on a first-come, first-served basis, and will last until supplies run out.

Farm Share said it helps to fight hunger “by working hand-in-hand with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that would otherwise be thrown away due to aesthetic imperfections.”
