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.”
Each pound of food we deliver sows seeds of hope for thousands of Florida families. In 2023, Farm Share distributed 93 million pounds of food – equating to 58 million meals – with the support of the Florida Legislature. Join our mission: https://t.co/hTtldZSlz4 pic.twitter.com/YbLpUfEbQQ
