LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. – United Way went to great lengths on Friday to donate at a week-long virtual food collection. However, his paintings are too much.
Rebecca Currie of Lake Worth Beach is committed to the fight against hunger.
Currie, who teaches at North Grade Elementary, delivers food at home to his students.
“When I found out we were closing, I emailed the teachers and said, ‘Who are the little kids who are going to go unnoticed? Who are the children who don’t have a car, who don’t have parents who are in Who can they?
With the help of the First Presbyterian Church, Currie fills the trunk of his supermarket each week and fills it with nutritious meals.
“The volunteers then head to the student’s door,” Currie said.
Every week, the Palm Beach County Food Bank delivers dozens of food pallets. Volunteers temporarily arrive at the paintings to collect them. However, he left in a few hours.
The food bank makes its weekly deliveries by partnering with agencies such as United Way.
However, Currie’s call at Lake Worth Beach had doubled since June.
“We went from 750 families to 1,500 last month,” Currie said.
Volunteers like Christina Linder, the school’s top student, inspire others to help.
“Even if you can’t come every single Friday and you can’t be so engaged, every single time you’re here, you have an effect on someone’s life and you help someone,” Linder said. .
“During those periods, everyone has something to worry about. If delivering extra food gives them one less thing to worry about, then it’s amazing,” said Alexia Savage of United Way Worldwide.
