Spanish River Church’s Record-Breaking Food Drive

Recently, Spanish River Church held their
second annual food drive to benefit Boca
Helping Hands. In 2020, they set a record for
a community food drive held on Boca Helping
Hand’s behalf, donating 7,526 pounds of food;
the most any community organization had
ever donated from a single event. In 2021,
they exceeded their own record with 8,726
pounds collected. The food drive is part of
Spanish River’s Serve the City initiative, which
began in 2018 as a way to give back through
volunteering at local nonprofits; 42 volunteers
and 140 participants were involved. Crayton Hudspeth Jordan Mathai Brian and Liam Haring
