Rubenstein law attorneys and staff from our Broward, Miami and West Palm Beach offices met early Saturday morning in Plantation, FL to volunteer at Feeding South Florida.
The hunger relief organization serves 25% of the state's food insecure population. It's the largest, most efficient food bank serving Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties. For every $1 donated, they provide six (6) meals to South Florida families in need: veterans, older adults, single parents, children, and the working poor.
The volunteers from Rubenstein Law inspected and sorted enough food to deliver 26,000 meals to the South Florida community and had a little fun in the process. We also donated $2,500 to the organization, which will provide another 15,000 meals for the community.
