“It was a privilege to host this powerful panel at our warehouse, comprising of some of South Florida’s top female leaders, in honor of Women’s History Month,” said Paco Vélez, president and CEO of Feeding South Florida. “Each of these women play an important role in fulfilling our mission to end hunger in South Florida. We are tremendously grateful for their support and commitment to putting food on the tables of our families.”

Currently, in South Florida, there are over 1.2 million food insecure individuals, and 1 in 9 individuals in South Florida remain uncertain about where they will get their next meal due to inflation, the strained supply chain, rising fuel prices and increased housing costs among other factors.
