State Rep. Kionne McGhee, Dem. (Dist. 117), presented a check for $1.5 million Farm Share for the work it does for our communities. Yesterday, with the help of volunteers from our communities, over 700 families in South Dade were assisted with fresh, healthy foods. That's especially important during this time of the year when schools are closed and students cannot take advantage of the federal government's free and reduced meal program.

From the Farm Share website:

Farm Share is a large-scale food bank and charitable packinghouse working to end hunger. We specialize in getting donated fresh fruits and vegetables from Florida’s farmers and putting it into the hands of the millions of low-income families in need of nutritious food. If you are a philanthropist, a farmer or a volunteer wanting to get involved in solving issues of hunger, malnutrition and food insecurities, please click on our “How To Help” page or contact [email protected].
