Farm Share: Standing With Florida’s Working Families
Farm Share is Florida’s homegrown food bank, built by Floridians and for Floridians. Founded in Miami in 1991 with the simple idea of rescuing fresh crops from local farmers and giving them to neighbors in need, Farm Share has grown into Florida’s largest independent food bank and the fourth largest in the United States.
For more than three decades, we have stood with Miami’s hardworking families. We are the only food bank trusted with USDA’s TEFAP program in Miami, and for decades we have been the first to respond when food insecurity and disaster struck our community.
In 2024, Farm Share distributed more than 105 million pounds of food to over 23 million households across Florida, including 38 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables grown by Florida’s farmers. Every bag of groceries we give is free. We will never charge for food.
But this year has brought enormous challenges. Demand has risen, and funding sources are getting thin. Costs rose in recent years, tightening the noose around working families, our neighbors, our teachers, our nurses, and families cannot wait. Now, more than ever, Miami needs Farm Share. And Farm Share needs you.
Stand with us. Stand with Miami’s families. Together, we will fight food insecurity, and together, we will win.
No Person Goes Hungry & No Food Goes to Waste!
Established in 1991, Farm Share started with the innovative concept of picking up food from Florida farms and redistributing the food to those in need. We began operations in Homestead, FL and have expanded to serve the entire state of Florida as a food bank.
Farm Share, Florida's homegrown food bank in now Florida's largest independent food bank and the nation's 3rd largest. We are a nonprofit organization who focuses on fighting food insecurity in Florida while simultaneously reducing food waste from Florida farms. Our team picks up fresh fruits and vegetables from Florida farmers in order to redistribute that food to neighborhoods and communities in need throughout all 67 counties in the state of Florida. We are proud to serve our beautiful state and those who need food assistance in order to keep our state free of hunger and full of productivity.
