This Thanksgiving, the need to give back in Palm Beach County is more pressing than ever. With over 150,000 people facing food insecurity—over 50,000 of them children—many families are unsure where their next meal will come from. But together, we can change that. Local organizations are offering heartfelt opportunities to ensure no one is left hungry this holiday season. By donating food or volunteering your time, you can bring hope and warmth to families in need. Here are our favorite ways to make a difference this Thanksgiving.
United Way of Palm Beach County
Join Project Thanksgiving this November by volunteering to sort food at the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Your efforts will ensure struggling families can enjoy a nourishing holiday meal.
