Established in 1991, Farm Share started the concept of retrieving unused food from Florida farms and redistributing it to those in need.

A food distribution event will be held Saturday in south Tallahassee. The nonprofit Farm Share food bank will give out fresh produce and non-perishable canned goods.

The drive-through event is at 2525 S. Monroe Street. It starts at 10 a.m. and lasts until all food has been handed out.

Here is the news release from Farm Share:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.Farm Share, Florida’s leading food nonprofit and the state’s largest food bank, is distributing food to food-insecure Floridians in the Tallahassee area. Recipients will receive fresh produce and non-perishable canned goods. Distributions are drive-thru only to minimize contact and to help ensure the safety of all parties. Attendees must arrive in a vehicle with a trunk or cargo bed.
 
With more than 3.9 million families suffering from food insecurity throughout Florida, Farm Share meets the everyday hunger needs of Floridians by working hand-in-hand with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that would otherwise be thrown away due to aesthetic imperfections.

Farm Share also distributes food to the community through its network of soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, churches, and senior centers across Florida free of charge. To find a food pantry near you, please visit www.farmshare.org/food-pantries.
