Boca Helping Hands Needs Help Feeding Families

For Thanksgiving – And Through The Holidays

Boca Helping Hands (BHH) is seeking support
from the community to distribute meals to families for
Thanksgiving and through the holiday season. Its 19th
annual Thanksgiving Box Brigade program, which
provides a turkey and a box filled with everything
a family needs to prepare a holiday meal, will feed
approximately 3,500. Members of the community can
get involved by donating the cost of a box for $29.72 at
BocaHelpingHands.org/Thanksgiving.
With a 9 percent inflation rate in South Florida – the
highest rate in the country, and twice the national average
– many Palm Beach County residents are still struggling
to provide for their families.
“We understand the challenges many families are
facing, and the Falcone Group is proud to support the
Thanksgiving Box Brigade again this year,” said CEO Brigade supporters include Bob and Anita Kriensky, the insecurity remains a problem year-round – especially now
