COLLIER COUNTY, Fla — Families lined up in Immokalee on Friday to receive much-needed food for their babies, thanks to a new initiative by Meals of Hope. This is the first baby food pantry in the state, according to the non-profit organization.
On Friday, volunteers from Meals of Hope gathered outside the Guadalupe Center to distribute baby food and formula to families in need.
“For one can of formula, maybe this size, just a standard size, we’re looking at about $30. For me personally, that’s a lot to afford,” Isabel said.
“One visit here can help food-insecure mothers and their babies for weeks. They don’t just give us one or two baby foods; they give us enough for at least a month,” she added
Meals of Hope is no stranger to helping those in need. In May, the organization celebrated packaging 100 million meals for families across the region.
Her team launched this drive after noticing the increased number of families coming to them with kids, particularly after COVID-19 and Hurricane Ian.
