HURRICANE MELISSA CANNED FOOD DRIVE
Food For The Poor is collecting essential relief supplies at our Coconut Creek Florida warehouse to support families in Jamaica affected by Hurricane Melissa. Local donors can make an immediate difference by dropping off items such as canned vegetables and fruits, rice, grains, cooking oils, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, baby items, and sleeping mats.
