The Palm Beach County Food Bank has kicked off its sixth annual back-to-school food drive, aiming to stock local pantries with essential items for families in need. As the new school year approaches, many families struggle to balance the costs of back-to-school expenses, such as clothes and supplies, with putting food on the table.

How to Help

Community members can contribute to the effort by donating canned goods and other nonperishable food items at collection sites across Palm Beach County. The food drive will run through August 31, and the Palm Beach County Food Bank is accepting pantry staples, including canned vegetables, proteins, pasta, rice, and other shelf-stable items.

Donations can be dropped off at participating locations throughout the county during the month-long campaign. By supporting the Palm Beach County Food Bank’s back-to-school food drive, individuals can make a meaningful difference in the lives of local families and help ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food.
