For over 15 years, the volunteers of Boca Helping Hands have been working miracles with food recovered from local grocers, restaurants, bakeries and caterers.  Today, six days a week and twice on Thursdays, the volunteer cooks at Boca Helping Hands prepare and serve between 175 and 200 hot, nutritious and DELICIOUS meals…and all of it comes from food that is recovered from local partners, which include Winn-Dixie, Whole Foods, Seasons 52, Olive Garden, Cheesecake Factory, Papajohn’s Pizza, Target, Walmart, Costco, Silver Sac Catering, Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, Panera Bread, and Grand Lux Café, just to name a few.

Six teams of volunteers will “compete” with one another, preparing delicious dishes using nothing but recovered food, drawing attention to the need for Food Recovery in our community.  Our celebrity judges will offer their culinary observations, while BHH  supporters and volunteers enjoy sampling the dishes that often fill the plates of those we serve every day here at Boca Helping Hands.

The panel of Celebrity Judges will include “Chef Rey” from Publix Supermarkets Apron Program as well as Mr. Bobby Boribong, General Manager of Capital Grille.  Both Publix Supermarkets and the Capital Grille are also Food Recovery Partners with Boca Helping Hands.

So come to Boca Helping Hands (1500 NW 1st Court, Boca Raton, FL 33432) on Friday, October 17th and learn more about Food Recovery and their efforts to feed those living in food insecurity right here in Boca Raton.  For further information or to RSVP, contact Ms. Bozena Szalobryt at:  Bozena@bocahelpinghands.org
