LAKE BUTLER, Fla. – More than 3.9 million families are suffering from food insecurity throughout Florida.

To combat the issue, Farm Share, Florida’s leading food nonprofit and the state’s largest food bank, works hand-in-hand with local farmers to recover and redistribute produce that would otherwise be thrown away because of how it looks.
