Pop-up food charity relied on by thousands may be forced out of Lake Worth Beach over traffic issues
By Joe Capozzi: "NO ONE DISPUTES the positive difference Restoration Bridge International makes every Saturday morning in Lake Worth Beach by handing out free supplemental food to thousands of people in need.Since 2017, RBI volunteers have loaded more than 18 million pounds of produce and dry goods into the open trunks of vehicles in the parking lot of Church by the Glades at 127 South M St. every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Many cars arrive as early as 5 a.m."
The Jewell Neighborhood is complaining about the traffic and noise.
"Nearly a quarter of Lake Worth Beach’s population lives in poverty, according to the U.S. Census, a rate among the highest for coastal communities in Palm Beach County.
Many residents in and around Lake Worth Beach not living in poverty are still struggling to make ends meet and are part of an economic classification known as ALICE, an acronym for asset limited, income constrained employed, according to the United Way of Palm Beach County."

Lake Worth Beach has encouraged the poor over the last decade or two as well as illegal immigrants to our city. Now we are known as a poverty city in Palm Beach County. We know what is responsible for this deprivation in the United States today...Bidenomics.

I think mostly everybody in that church is in recovery. That's nice, but why can't they recover someplace else.
As far as distributing food, there must be a place where it doesn't create a traffic nightmare for those who are not in recovery.
Everybody who is in recovery thinks they deserve an extra pat on the back for doing what the rest of us are doing without having to advertise it.
Who's to say that all of those cars lined up are from Lake Worth.
There are still plenty of empty lots on Dixie Hwy which could serve the purpose more efficiently than a little street in the center of town.
You can blame Bidenomics, and you can blame poor management and administration of the city, which has become endemic to Lake Worth.
So much addiction in this narco society we live in, this is what the government wants. Sad
