Disaster Relief
The first truck arrived in Fort Myers on 9/29/22, just six hours after Hurricane Ian passed. Dispatched from the main warehouse in Homestead, this initial drop provided 32,658 pounds of food, water, and disaster relief supplies.
Within the first 10 days post-landfall, Farm Share served 248,500 households with approximately 1.9 million pounds of food.
Trucks were dispatched from Farm Share’s facilities throughout the state, from Homestead and Florida City, all the way to Jacksonville and Quincy.
Our relief efforts spanned over 10 Florida counties, including Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, DeSoto, Hardee, Orange, Flagler, Union and Marion
