FARM SHARE

Florida’s largest independent food bank.

 

 Farm Share has been combating food insecurity since 1991 with the innovative concept of recovering surplus crops from Florida farmers to distribute fresh and nutritious food to those in need.

We have fed millions of people, saved millions of pounds of food from going to waste,

and have become Florida's largest independent food bank!

Farm Share Stands Ready to Support Floridians During the Government Shutdown

As the government shutdown enters another week, families across Florida are facing uncertainty.  All federal employees and contractors, relying on benefits are unsure what comes next .

Farm Share is here to help.  Our team remains committed to serving Florida’s hard-working families throughout the shutdown
 

Support for ALL Federal Employees

  • Free Food Pickup: Federal employees can visit any Farm Share facility to receive free, fresh, and nutritious food. Please bring a valid federal or military ID

 

Support for WIC and SNAP Recipients

  • Find Food Fast: Use our Food Finder to find nearby distribution events or call 305-246-3276 for emergency support

 

If the shutdown continues past November 1, SNAP benefits may experience a temporary lapse. WIC benefits are not immediately affected, but services could be disrupted if the shutdown extends further.

If you experience a lapse in benefits, please use our Food Finder or call 305-246-3276 for emergency food support.

How Farm Share Is Preparing

  • Farm Share’s support through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) remains intact, ensuring a steady supply of healthy, nutritious food.

  • We are working closely with our network of nearly 2,000 partner agencies across Florida counties to continue distributing food where it’s needed most.

This is a time of stress and uncertainty for many, but Farm Share is here to help. Our mission is simple yet vital: to ensure that no person goes hungry and no food goes to waste. Please share these resources with anyone who may need support during this challenging time
