City of High Springs to host Saturday food giveaway

The City of High Springs has announced the next Farm Share Food Giveaway for this Saturday, Jan. 23. 

The event is set to begin at 9 a.m. at the High Springs Civic Center, located on US Hwy 441 in High Springs. The event will last until the food runs out.

Organizers will conduct drive-thru distribution only—no walk-ups—and ask that participants keep windows up and drive forward with trunks open. 

The Farm Share Giveaway, a partnership between the City of High Springs and Farm Share, occurs 2-3 times a year. The last giveaway, held in November, included more than a dozen city staff distributing food to more than 400 families. 

For status updates during this Saturday’s giveaway, the city has directed citizens to the City of High Springs or High Springs Fire Department Facebook pages, the NextDoor app, or text alerts by Nixle. To sign up for these text alerts, text 32643 to 888777.
