Commissioner Joe Martinez Distributes Over 1,200 Bags of Food

MIAMI – Miami-Dade County Commissioner Joe Martinez partnered with Farm Share to distribute over 1,200 bags of food to the residents at University Lakes Park, a mobile home community. All COVID-19 CDC guidelines were followed to ensure the health and safety of volunteers and community members. Residents remained within the safety of their cars while volunteers placed the boxed food in their trunks.

Pallets of food to be distributed“People are facing economic hardships due to the loss of their jobs. If there’s ever been a time to give, this is it!  There are hundreds of thousands of residents who are unemployed and cannot afford to purchase food for their family or themselves. Helping people in their time of need has always been a priority for me. I am here to serve the residents of this community, and there is no better way to show my gratitude and support than by giving back to the people I serve,” said Commissioner Martinez.
