Food For The Poor (FFTP), 6401 Lyons Road, Coconut Creek will be holding its Hearts United Community Day on April 15 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

The first Hearts United Community Day of 2023 will bring together volunteers from churches, schools, businesses and community groups to pack 2,000 women’s care kits that are a key part of the charity’s disaster response each year.

FFTP prepositions relief kits every year to help countries and in-country partners rapidly respond to disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes. This year, kits will be sent to the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago, as well as kept on hand in case a disaster hits the United States.

Women’s care kits contain such essentials as wash cloths, shampoo and feminine hygiene products.
