For those don’t know or remember what it’s like to be chronically hungry, it may be hard to imagine that, across the Palm Beach region, there are people who don’t have enough to eat.

Inconsistent access to food is a persistent problem.
Meanwhile, the affluent among us have more than enough — and that's where the annual Town of Palm Beach United Way’s Empty Your Pantry Food Drive steps comes into play.
