Boca Raton Airport Authority to Launch Annual Food Drive to Benefit Boca Helping Hands
The Boca Raton Airport Authority (BRAA) is proud to be hosting its annual food drive to support Boca Helping Hands (BHH) from April 8-20, 2024. Since April 2021, the BRAA has partnered with BHH to host an annual food drive and volunteer at the BHH pantry.
“Now in our fourth year, we look to continue the momentum of helping such a crucial organization give back to our community and are thrilled to partner with our Airport businesses and the surrounding community to support Boca Helping Hands,” said Boca Raton Airport Authority Executive Director Clara Bennett.
The BRAA’s annual food drive is a collective effort between BRAA board members, management, airport tenants, and the general public.
