ABOUT US
Palm Beach Harvest is a food rescue and community distribution organization serving Palm Beach County. We collect donated surplus food from local businesses and distribute it directly to individuals and families in need through our own community food distributions and programs. We also deliver to a trusted network of food banks, churches, and nonprofit partners that provide direct assistance. Operating 365 days a year, our team ensures that rescued food reaches children, seniors, and households facing food insecurity—reducing food waste and strengthening the local hunger relief system across our community.
Why Your Help Matters
Food insecurity doesn’t always look the same, but its impact is deeply personal. For a parent choosing between groceries and rent, a senior living on a fixed income, or a child arriving at school hungry, support can mean everything. When the community steps in—through food, time, or financial support—it provides more than meals. It offers relief, dignity, and the reassurance that no one has to face hunger alone.
Every Donation Strengthens Local Hunger Relief
Our work is powered by grants, donations, and dedicated volunteers, and every contribution directly strengthens our ability to serve. We remain committed to transparency and responsible stewardship, ensuring resources are used efficiently to support those facing hunger.
OUR MISSION
Palm Beach Harvest Inc. is dedicated to reducing food waste and alleviating hunger throughout Palm Beach County and surrounding areas. By rescuing surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, we distribute it directly through our community programs and organized food distributions, as well as by supporting a trusted network of partner agencies. Our mission is to ensure individuals and families—including children and seniors—have reliable access to food while fostering community collaboration and sustainable solutions to food insecurity.
Our Programs
Each initiative is structured to maximize protection and preservation of local people in need
Since 1998, Palm Beach Harvest has rescued surplus food and redistributed it to trusted hunger relief partners across Palm Beach County. Through financial support, food donations, and strong community partnerships, we help ensure nutritious food reaches the agencies serving individuals and families facing food insecurity.
Unlike organizations that distribute only boxed or canned goods, we recover fresh, wholesome food and deliver it free of charge to food banks, churches, and nonprofit partners. Last year alone, we rescued more than 5 million pounds of food that would otherwise have gone to waste.
Our volunteers play a vital role, giving just a few hours each week to help redirect food from businesses that cannot use it to organizations that can. We partner with local donors including country clubs, Whole Foods, Farm Share, and others to keep food moving where it is needed most.
The need continues to grow. Changes in federal funding and SNAP benefits are placing additional pressure on local hunger relief agencies. With your support, we can continue strengthening the network that feeds our community and ensure fewer people go hungry.
We also extend our efforts to support a wildlife sanctuary in Loxahatchee, helping provide rescued food for animals in their care.
Key Initiatives Include:
Weekly food distributions through partner agencies across nine zip codes
Meals Around the Clock
Meals of Hope
Country Club Outreach
Florida Food Bank partnerships
Rejected Loads Program, rescuing store rejected truck deliveries
