Through August 31, the Palm Beach County Food Bank is hosting its fourth annual “One Can, Two Cans, Who Can? You Can!” back-to-school food drive and is calling for high-protein donations.

  • First Horizon locations from Jupiter to Boca Raton
  • Pilates Club Wellington
  • Palm Beach County Food Bank
  • Velocity Community Credit Union locations from Jupiter to Royal Palm Beach
  • RE/MAX Select Group locations from Delray Beach to Parkland
  • Palm Beach County Library Systems

In addition to the ongoing food drive, the food bank is hosting “Day of 200,000 Meals” on Hunger Action Day (September 17) in partnership with the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and with catering by Lessing’s Hospitality Group. Volunteers will package meals to support one in nine hungry residents in Palm Beach County.
