JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Nonprofit Farm Share, which touts itself as Florida’s largest food bank, announced in a press release it will be distributing fresh produce and canned goods to food insecure Floridians in the Jacksonville area Friday and Saturday this week. According to the release, distributions are drive thru only, and attendees must arrive in a vehicle with a trunk or cargo bed.
