JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As Northeast Florida residents struggle through the pandemic, more people than ever need assistance. One gauge of how much that need is if they have enough to feed their family.
On Tuesday, Eastside Florida Farm Share teamed up with the Church of Oakland to distribute food to around 1,600 families, the first of six distributions of free food in Jacksonville this week.
The church’s pastor, Christopher McKee, said he see more need right now than he’s seen in recent years.
