Feeding South Florida® – the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida – will host the “Wine and Bourbon Experience” at its Boynton Beach Warehouse on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 6-8 p.m.. The tasting event will raise awareness, funds and glasses for South Florida families facing food insecurity. Each ticket will include four tastings and appetizers. Guests will also enjoy live entertainment and have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction.

Currently in South Florida, there are over 1.1 million food insecure individuals, and 1 in 9 individuals in South Florida remain uncertain about where they will get their next meal due to inflation, the strained supply chain, rising fuel prices and increased housing costs among other factors.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Economic Research Service Household Food Security in the United States in 2022 Report, the number of people living in food insecure households in the United States in 2022 increased to 44 million, including 13 million children. This is an increase of more than 30% and 40% respectively from the previous year, the highest rate and number since 2014 and the largest one-year increase since 2008.
