| Non-perishable food items are collected by congregations, groups, and individuals throughout Palm Beach County and taken to the closest pantry. In 2009, 41,142 people received emergency food, nearly half of them children. |  |
Volunteers are needed at the pantries Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., to sort and shelve food, to pack and distribute food bags, to pick-up food. Congregations and community groups are needed to collect food. |

| How we've helped: Sharon and Jack were stable and secure until Sharon lost her job at the airline. Shortly after that, Jack was laid off. Their stability was suddenly gone and they were struggling to keep their home and feed their children. They came to the food pantry for help with food so they would have money to pay their mortgage. | |
