Feeding people today, here and in Haiti. Preparing young people for tomorrow.
Every week since 2024, volunteers meet at the kitchen, cook and pack hot meals, then drive a set route through West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, and Lake Worth Beach, stopping where people living without shelter gather.
Beyond the meal, we hand out hygiene kits, water, socks, and seasonal items like blankets and rain ponchos. Because we come every week, people trust us enough to ask for help with the bigger things: an ID, a shelter bed, a phone call to family.
Chicken and vegetables over riceCircles is a mentorship program built around economic stability. Each circle is six teens and one consistent adult mentor who meet weekly for 30 weeks. The curriculum is practical: how to budget, how credit works, how to get and keep a first job, how to talk to a bank.
What makes Circles different is that the teens serve. They join the feeding runs, plan a seasonal drive, and run it. Giving back isn't a lesson; it's the homework.
Young people are the heart of the missionEvery year we take the same model home. Our founder was born in Haiti, and once a year YoungHeart cooks and serves hot plates in two towns, Les Cayes and Port-au-Prince, working with local churches so the food reaches the people who need it most. In 2024 and again in 2025 we served more than 600 plates to children, families, and neighbors gathered outside the church doors.
It's the same promise as our weekly feeding in Palm Beach County: show up, serve a real meal, and treat every person with dignity.
Annual feeding day in HaitiThree times a year the whole community pitches in. Circles teens help plan and run each one.
Our office is in Greenacres. Our outreach covers Central Palm Beach County: West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Lake Worth Beach, and Greenacres. We serve in English and Haitian Creole.
Community Feeding serves adults and families living without shelter. YoungHeart Circles serves teens ages 14 to 17 from low-income households, with priority for families in the neighborhoods we already serve. Our broader youth work reaches ages 8 to 24.
