YOUR LEGACY?
Partner with Florida’s Largest Independent Food Bank
Message from Farm Share Chairman Chuck Hartz.
I want to tell you about an opportunity to leave something behind that truly matters. A chance to take ownership of an organization and create a legacy for you and your family that will help put food on the tables of millions of Floridians. As Florida's largest independent food bank, Farm Share is committed to rescuing fresh, nutritious food from going to waste and distributing it to families. For over 30 years, the organization has transformed lives across every corner of the state.
Farm Share is now seeking a partner who can help this organization transition to a private model.
A Vision Turned into Lifesaving Reality
It all started with Patricia Robbins, who had a simple but powerful vision in 1991: to rescue food that would otherwise go to waste and provide it to those in need.
What began with a handful of donations has evolved into a lifeline for thousands of Floridians. Today, Farm Share is a beacon of hope. It operates with remarkable efficiency 7 facilities around Florida with nearly 100 employees, delivering 100 million meals annually.
From large urban centers to rural communities, Farm Share distributes food across from Pensacola to Key West in the State through a network of nearly 2,000 local partner agencies.
Building a Legacy of Trust and Impact
Historically government-funded, Farm Share is now seeking a partner who wants to make a profound, lasting impact by helping the organization transition to a predomenetenly privately funded model.
Imagine your family’s legacy being forever intertwined with this life-changing mission, knowing that your support helps provide meals for those who would otherwise go hungry.
Unlike starting a new initiative, you will be taking ownership and building a legacy from an established operation with three decades of expertise, infrastructure, and trust.

A Call For
Lasting Legacy
Farm Share operational excellence, combined with a proven track record of success, makes this an opportunity for you and your family to create a legacy and align your name with one of the most impactful charitable initiatives in the state.
Farm Share has built a model that is highly efficient, partnering with farmers and food vendors across Florida to rescue surplus food, supporting the state's vital agricultural industry while reducing waste. The organization also has the best administrative/food dollar ratio in Florida as well as healthy reserves, ensuring stability and sustainability.
Behind Every Meal is a Story
But there’s more to the story than just numbers. Farm Share is about people; the families, children, and elderly individuals who face hunger every day.
It’s about the single mother who can stretch her budget thanks to the food that Farm Share provides or the senior who relies on the box of fresh produce he receives every week.
“I’m a single mom, and receiving this food makes a real difference. It helps ease my expenses and allows me to better care for my family”
