JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – One of the most common requests in our newsroom is to find out when the next food distribution event will be in Jacksonville. Farm Share is hosting four events in town this week.
Recipients will receive fresh produce and non-perishable canned goods. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, distributions are drive-thru only to minimize contact and to help ensure the safety of all parties, and attendees must wear a mask and arrive in a vehicle with a trunk or cargo bed.
