In the corporate limits of the City of Riviera Beach, thousands of families were negatively affected by Hurricane Irma. More specifically, the results of the storm not only prevented the use of electricity to conduct basic needs such as preparing foods, but simultaneously caused property damage to residents’ homes and businesses.
Thereby, this particular initiative was developed as a means to provide access to needy families and individuals who did not have the ability to acquire and/or prepare balanced and nutritious food products. The sharing of meals with hundreds of households affected by the storm, took place during the afternoon of Wednesday, September 13, 2017 and it was conducted at Allen Temple and Hurst Chapel.
