The Figgers Foundation has launched a holiday initiative aimed at helping families in Broward County put food on the table during the festive season.
The program, called “Figgers Feeding Families,” will provide grocery gift cards to eligible households to assist with purchasing food, essential items and holiday meals. The initiative was announced by Freddie Figgers, founder and chairman of The Figgers Foundation.
Figgers said the effort is intended to go beyond short-term relief and offer encouragement to families facing financial strain during the holidays, including thousands of Caribbean American households across the county.
“This initiative is more than providing groceries,” Figgers said. “It reminds families that they matter, their community cares, and brighter days are ahead.”
Families can apply to receive a grocery gift card, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Gift cards will be available for pickup at the Figgers Institute, and income eligibility will be verified securely through ID.me, according to the foundation.
In addition to supporting local families, the foundation is inviting businesses, faith leaders and community partners across Broward County to join the effort. Organizers say the goal is to ensure that no family is left without support during the holiday season while encouraging a broader culture of generosity throughout South Florida.
