Food Share has served all 67 counties in Florida through soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, churches and senior centers.

They work with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that would be thrown away due to aesthetic imperfections.

The nonprofit has also distributed more than 751 million pounds of food, valued at more than 1.9 billion dollars, to Florida communities since its establishment.
