February 9, 2021 – Palm Beach County, Florida The Palm Beach County Community Services Department’s Ryan White Part A procurement process has awarded Food Bank Services funding to The Poverello Center, Inc. for the first time. In the application for funding, the Poverello Center requested funding to provide a variety of food and food voucher services to residents of Palm Beach County living with HIV who are living under 400% of the Federal Poverty Level. The services would be unique in the county as they are a combination of services funded by the Ryan White Part A program and services funded through the Poverello Center Inc.’s other fundraising efforts. The idea is to have program participants choose whether they’d like physical food vouchers (which are really supermarket gift cards), electronic food vouchers (electronically transmitted grocery gift cards) or a weeks’ worth of groceries as part of Poverello’s Pop Up Eat Well Center events held in collaboration with other Ryan White Part A providers of Ambulatory/Outpatient Medical Care. Services begin March 1, 2021 and renew yearly until 2023. intake@poverello.org for more information.
