The City of Sunrise is partnering with Feeding South Florida to bring free food resources to members of the community.
Beginning the week of May 11, food distribution events will take place on Wednesdays starting at 10:00 a.m. at the Sunrise Tennis Club (9605 W Oakland Park Boulevard). Each Feeding South Florida event provides residents with up to a week’s worth of groceries – typically including dairy, meat and produce items. This free food is distributed by City staff via drive-thru service only.
If you are unable to participate in our event, you’ll find a list of other food distribution events (updated weekly) posted here: https://feedingsouthflorida.org/covid19/.
Residents who need assistance are also encouraged to call Sunrise’s Compassionate Call Center to be connected with resources and information. Call (954) 746-3670 on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., or email CompassionOfficer@sunrisefl.gov.
