In Lake Worth Beach, a local organization is seeing a significant increase in demand for free meals. Boca Helping Hands has reported a surge in the number of hot meals served at its location. This week, the organization served 543 hot meals, which is up from the typical 400 meals.

The increase is attributed to SNAP benefit losses, which are leaving more Floridians without access to food. Further details about the situation and the organization's efforts are available from Boca Helping Hands.
