Each year the City of Parkland holds a commemoration event on February 14 to remember the victims of the 2018 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. This is accompanied by a service project that typically receives an outpouring of support from the community.
In the past two years, both the city and Food For The Poor held a food-packing event where hundreds of thousands of meals were packed and sent to underserved areas, which required hundreds of people working in a confined, sanitary space.
This year, due to COVID-19, the focus is shifted to a fundraiser that will build homes in Honduras.
