MEET THE FAMILIES WE HELP!
Tom Bencini is a Jacksonville resident that has received free food from Farm Share. Tom retired in 2005 from operating his own trucking company and currently receives social security. Being on a fixed income forces Tom to make decisions as to how to allocate his limited budget. This can mean deciding between medicine and food. Farm Share has been a blessing to him and his wife.
“It’s not a disgrace to be poor, just an inconvenience.” – Tom Bencini
