Palm Coast Food Pantries Are Running Low—Here’s How You Can Help
In a town known for its sunshine and southern hospitality, it’s easy to forget that hundreds of families in Palm Coast are quietly struggling to put food on the table. But the shelves at our local food pantries are thinning—and the need is growing.
Palm Coast’s Food Pantries Are Running Low—Let’s Step Up Together
Palm Coast is a place of warmth, generosity, and neighborly care. But right now, many families in our community are quietly facing empty cupboards—and our local food pantries are struggling to keep up.
From Bunnell to Flagler Beach, volunteers are doing everything they can to provide groceries and hope. But demand is rising, donations are slowing, and some pantries are even losing their physical spaces. This isn’t just a seasonal dip—it’s a crisis.
What’s Causing the Shortage?
More families in need**: With rising rents and grocery bills, more people are turning to pantries for help.
Fewer donations**: Summer and early fall often bring a slowdown in giving, just when shelves need restocking.
😋 How You Can Make a Difference
Palm Coast has always rallied in tough times. Here’s how you can help right now:
**Drop off shelf-stable food**: Think canned vegetables, pasta, rice, peanut butter, and proteins that don’t require refrigeration.
**Donate money**: Even a small contribution helps pantries buy fresh items and fill urgent gaps.
**Volunteer your time**: Whether it’s sorting food or helping with distribution, every hour counts.
- **Spread the word**: Share pantry needs with your neighbors, churches, and social circles.
