Ordinarily, the Palm Beach Outlets is open for retail.

But these are not ordinary times.

Now, Palm Beach Outlets is partnering with Feeding South Florida to be a drive-up food distribution center from 9 to 11 a.m. each Monday through May.

The program welcomes anyone who needs food on a first come, first served basis. Each donation will consist of an approximate one-week supply of a protein, fresh produce, eggs, milk and other essential goods. The Palm Beach Outlets distribution center anticipates providing donations to 700 to 800 families each week.

Feeding South Florida, a local 501(c) (3) nonprofit, is the state’s largest food bank, supporting 25 percent of the state’s food-insecure population. The organization’s staff, volunteers and local officers will be onsite at the Palm Beach Outlets’ Congress Avenue parking lot to facilitate the weekly distribution. All Feeding South Florida organizers will follow health guidelines by wearing gloves, masks and practicing social distancing.

“During this challenging time many families are struggling to put food on their tables,” Trina Holmsted, marketing director of Palm Beach Outlets, said in a statement. “Palm Beach Outlets is proud to host this much-needed food and supply distribution effort.”
