5 Employees from the Company’s Boynton Beach Office Spent the Day Packing and Distributing Vegetables and Food to Families in Need
December 18, 2017, Lake Worth Beach, FL – Employees from Source1 Purchasing, a leading strategic supply chain management group, recently participated in Feeding South Florida’s “Mobile Food Pantry” in West Palm Beach. The team volunteered their time to package vegetables and hand out various food items for individuals to take home for their families. This event was part of the company’s continuing support for Feeding South Florida (FSF) and Feeding America.
According to Feeding America, food insecurity is most commonly a symptom of a larger issue–a lack of financial means and access to nutritious and fresh food. One of the most effective ways for FSF to address this need, is through their Mobile Food Pantry Program. FSF’s innovative model has been the pioneer for bringing this direct service to many low-income areas. Their Mobile Food Pantry uses a “farmers market” style distribution so that individuals and families in need are able to access the fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and bread that are so vital to maintaining a proper diet.
“Feeding South Florida is the leading domestic hunger-relief organization in South Florida, where our headquarters is based,” said Scott Hoffmire, CEO and President of Source1 Purchasing. “For this reason, the organization, its track record, and most importantly the people it helps have always been very special to me. We are honored to support this organization as a company.”
