Community Services Director Dr. James Green spent Saturday morning, August 12, volunteering with the Urban League of Palm Beach County. The organization held three food distribution events throughout our county. Volunteers from local news station WPTV, FPL, and the Urban League Guild all assisted in the distribution efforts. More than $50,000 was collected to help purchase more than 21,000 pounds of fresh food.
"The inflation, the lack of affordable housing, the ability for families to have viable salaries," Soulan Johnson, who is ULPBC’s Vice President of Development and Marketing, said. "We work with our partners to ensure that we can spread a little joy by providing food at the beginning of the school year for families."
