JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – One of Florida’s largest nonprofit food banks is hosting a food distribution event for food insecure Floridians on Jacksonville’s Eastside Friday and in the New Town neighborhood on Saturday.

Farm Share works with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that the farmers would discard because of aesthetic imperfections.
