Farm Share Working To Feed 3,500 South Florida Families

MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- While the holidays are quickly approaching, the need for food continues across South Florida.

Wednesday, Farm Share and local businesses, along with leaders from the City of Miami, partnered together for a drive-thru food distribution at Gibson Park Public Pool.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez was among those participating in the food drive.

"Times are tough for our residents and people are struggling to get by. They're looking for work, and need the very basics of life, food and the ability to take care of their families, and that's what we're trying to do here today."

More than 500 families received fresh produce, canned goods, and other necessities.
