Videos, Volunteer, Get Emails
Volunteer: If you’re on the email list, you’ll get invitations to help us give away food on the third and fourth Saturdays every month. Email daneshorter@yahoo.com.
Since we are a volunteer-run charity with only a few full-time employees, and a mostly part-time staff, every penny donated goes to buy, store, transport and give away nutritious food to hungry neighbors.
Our wonderful donors provide the meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, milk, bread and canned and dry goods for millions of healthy meals a year.
Our services to shut-in seniors and people with disabilities are sponsored by the Health Care District of Palm Beach County.
We are proud to partner with Extraordinary Charities to make Palm Beach County a better place to live for the less fortunate. Please email Dan Shorter at daneshorter@yahoo.com if you heard about our pantry through Extraordinary Charities.

$1-for-$1 Truck Match Goal $204,000
As the number of new families requesting food has surged, our drivers are rescuing 40,000+ lbs. of meat and some fish weekly from 50+ grocers — up from 32,000 lbs. during 4th quarter.
The amount of rescued meat, fish, milk, eggs, cheese, produce, & canned goods from grocers grew 226% over last January. 93,699 lbs. last year, which we thought was a lot, to 306,083 lbs. this January.
To rescue groceries 7 days a week, we’re leasing a refrigerated truck for $2,500+ a week, along with using the trucks we own. Now we have the opportunity to purchase this lovely truck for
$204,000.
To kick things off, our friends at the Batchelor Foundation have committed to $50,000 if we can raise $50,000.
To give, click E-Giving above or you can mail checks made out to Feed the Hungry Pantry to 8306 155th Place North, Palm Beach Gardens, Fl 33418. Please write truck on your checks.

Our meal costs are so low because most of our work is done by volunteers, and the majority of our food is rescued from going to the dump or donated.
Millions of pounds of food given away annually worth more than tens of millions.
We’re giving nutritious food to 1,200+ shut-in seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities — most receive food every week.
Our phones are ringing off the hook from people who have no way to feed their families. Meanwhile, meat, produce, and canned goods donations have dwindled.
Who You Are Feeding…
“You know that cinnamon bread you sent me last month?” the vet asked. “It was so good. I cut a slice for breakfast every morning as long as I could.”
“I looked at the grocery store and I can’t afford it. Could you please send me another loaf this month?”
So, Jacquie and the delivery team sent him 2 loaves.
Harvey’s social worker told us that until our volunteers gave him food that Harvey didn’t eat regularly.
The items you help us distribute are essential to those who pick up their own food also.
“The food I receive from you every month helps me and my family…save money…to manage the rent and utilities,” said Bonnie, who picks up her 120+ lbs. of healthy food in the pantry line. “It is one less worry…we count down the days to our next food pickup day.”
Mrs. Berry agreed: “Your pantry saves my family…stress and despair when we need to pay the rent. My family and I are eternally grateful….May God bless…your volunteers, your sponsors and everyone involved…”
