About Palm Beach County Food Bank
Palm Beach County Food Bank Inc gives mostly unrestricted support to a network of local hunger-relief organizations serving Palm Beach County. In the latest grant records, its largest award was $3,530,027 to Boca Helping Hands Inc in Boca Raton, followed by $2,534,280 to Restoration Bridge International in Lake Worth. Those grants sit within a broader pattern of recurring support for food pantries, ministries, and community groups that distribute food and connect people to resources. The foundation’s stated work centers on alleviating hunger in Palm Beach County by sourcing, sorting, and distributing food to partner agencies, while also connecting neighbors to benefits and other support. Its recent awards show that mission in practice: multi-million-dollar grants to major local partners and repeated funding to organizations working on food security, nutrition, and benefits outreach. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Boca Helping Hands Inc, Restoration Bridge International, and The Guatemala Maya Center, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The grant list also includes organizations serving specific communities, such as Haitian, farmworker, and faith-based networks, alongside broader pantry and initiative partners.
