• Has not received a food card in the past from the Palm Beach County Community Services Department; and,
• Has a household income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guideline.
All participants must be able to provide documentation to prove they were impacted financially by the COVID-19 crisis. Applications must be submitted online. This program is a limited-time offer and is subject to funding availability.
