Volunteer Broward Field Of Food, one of the largest annual community-wide food and funds drives in South Florida, provides critical resources to the Million Meals Committee, a cooperative of more than six dozen local hunger relief organizations supporting all of Broward County.
The second annual Volunteer Broward Field of Food comes at a most critical time, as the downturn in the economy, rising unemployment, and higher food and utility bills are forcing more people to turn to local hot meal programs, food pantries and shelters for assistance.
Simply put, we must provide more food this year, and we can with your help.
Thanks to a very generous community, last year’s campaign raised the dollars and food needed to provide nearly 750,000 meals to individuals and families struggling to make ends meet.
During the 2009 Volunteer Broward Field Of Food campaign, beginning September 14 and culminating with a food distribution at Lockhart Stadium on October 17, 2009, our goal is to secure 1 million pounds of food and funds to help Broward County's food pantries and social service agencies shouldering the burden created by greater demands, and those who are newly displaced and in need of services.
You can make a difference. Join us.
Volunteer Broward's Field of Food benefits the Million Meals Committee, a collaboration organized by the Coordinating Council of Broward County, and funded by The Children's Services Council of Broward County, supporting the collection and distribution of food and funds to local food pantries and social services agencies throughout Broward County. www.MillionMeals.org
