Organizers state that each box holds enough shelf-stable food to sustain a family for up to three days during emergencies like hurricanes, floods, fires, and tornadoes.
The effort comes as Floridians begin preparing for the start of hurricane season on June 1.
Second Harvest officials stated that the organization operates year-round to ensure food and emergency supplies are prepared ahead of disasters, leveraging decades of disaster response experience across Central Florida.
