Thanks to the Polo community's generosity, the event raised an impressive $30,000, allowing for the purchase of nearly 14,000 pounds of food, equating to over 90,000 meals for Palm Beach County's underserved populations.
The day was marked by enthusiastic teamwork, with an 18-wheeler delivering supplies directly for efficient packing and distribution to local food banks, including Boca Helping Hands, Jacobsen Food Pantry, and Feeding South Florida.
Co-chairs Lauren Spitz and Linda Rosenthal reflected on the initiative's success, noting the joy and unity experienced by all involved.
