BOCA RATON, Fla. â A local organization is making sure food is on the table for Palm Beach County families in need.
Boca Helping Hands announced Wednesday they are expanding their drive-thru Pantry Bag distribution hours.
The group said a time slot previously occupied by its Thursday night, sit-down family dinner will now be used to distribute food. Thankfully, due to the commitment of our volunteers and support from those in our community, we re able to add additional services, said Greg Hazle, the executive director of Boca Helping Hands. Without their dedication and willingness to give back to the community, we would not be able to continue to expand our services.

A new round of help in South County is helping families rebound in this trying time. What we re seeing right now a lot of it is still associated with the pandemic, Greg Hazle said.
Hazle is the Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands. He said when the pandemic began there was a huge demand for food assistance. But over time the demand for their services has changed. So, we re seeing a lot of people coming in seeking help for rent and with utility cut-offs, he said.
