Help out close to home

Local charities are getting stretched thin trying to help all the people in need. Food distributions are seeing longer lines.

To help out, we are holding a food drive during the month of December. All of the food that we collect will be distributed by the Miami Beach Community Church, who give this food away every Sunday. You can also make an online contribution which we will then use to purchase food for the Church's food giveaways.

To donate food in South Beach, call Amanda Knapp at 845-264-1923 or email her at miamibeachdcoutreachchair@gmail.com.

To donate food in North Beach, call Oliva Fernandez at 917-532-5700 or email her at miamibeachdcbod3@gmail.com.

To make an online contribution, use the form below. 100% of your contribution will be used to purchase food which we will then donate to the Miami Beach Community Church.

Suggested food donations:

• Canned goods: corn, potatoes, green beans, peas, carrots, black beans, all beans, mixed vegetables, mixed fruit, canned tuna
• Dry goods: rice, cereal, pasta, instant potatoes, oatmeal, grits, crackers
• Other: peanut butter, jelly

Please continue to help feed the hungry in our community. Thank you.
