What: Collect shelf-stable food to join the fight against food insecurity in our community.


How:

  • Choose a food panty near you. (See list on Charitable Organizations page)

  • Find their list of wants and needs online. Or use these suggestions: shelf-stable milk like horizon and Parmalat; canned vegetables, canned meats, fish, soups and meals like dinty moore stew; cans or cups of fruit; single-serve breakfast items - cereal, granola bars, oatmeal; mac and cheese or easy mac; single-serve tuna pouches; pasta, sauces; snacks; dehydrated foods like beef jerky, rice, nuts, etc.

  • Spread the word.

Where: Boca Helping Hands, Harvest Drive, Jacobson Family Food Pantry all have online lists. The TLC Little Free Pantries have over 20 locations in South Florida and you can fill them up yourselves. They encourage you to take a selfie in front of the pantry and post and tag them on social media. https://btcboca.org/littlefreepantry/

About SASHA

IMG_1198.JPG

I am currently a High School Student.  Since I was in 5th grade, I have done a lot of community service geared towards helping kids through my family’s non-profit. I have participated in and led many different types of events and programs. Friends and classmates have often asked me for ideas about where to volunteer or how to run a community service program. I thought it would be useful to put my experiences and suggestions all in one place so people can find things that interest them.

Any questions?
