MIAMI – Amid the coronavirus recession, hunger is now threatening many more families in Miami. Charles Lee volunteered to load grocery bags into cars during a food giveaway event on Wednesday at Gibson Park in Overtown. Mourning, better known to Overtown residents as Miami Heat’s “ZO,” partnered with Farm Share, a food bank that collects donations from local farmers. Luis Dickson a community distribution coordinator for Farm Share, said the punitive economic effects of the pandemic have increased the demand for food banks. “People still need food and that’s why we are out here.”For more information about food distribution events and about how to contribute to ongoing efforts, visit the Farm Share site.
