Saturday Pantry & Food Distribution
Every Saturday, rain or shine, RBI offers temporary assistance by distributing food boxes to families and individuals in need from 9AM – NOON in the parking lot of Church by the Glades, 127 S M Street, Lake Worth. We offer canned and dry goods, fresh produce, meat, bread, and more. Attendees are welcomed to the drive-thru car line where they are checked in or directed to go through the verification process to receive food distribution immediately. Our volunteer prayer ministers are ready to support our guests and come into agreement in prayer, if requested.
“Because of RBI I have peace knowing my children are getting healthy meals and that there is enough for all of us to eat. I can count on them to be there every Saturday. I am so thankful, there are lots of people out there who really need this help.”
“There have been more than a few healings due to our accompanying prayer ministry, up to 30 people on one Saturday morning alone have responded to the gospel message and received Christ as their Savior or been healed of an ailment.” – Pastor Dan West

Collaboration with PBSO
While responding to emergency calls, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office discovered families with no food. To assist with these significant distress calls, RBI allows PBSO deputies 24/7 access to our facility. At any time, deputies can sign out emergency food boxes to deliver to “families in crisis” in Palm Beach County suffering from hunger. Through this collaboration food is also being distributed at inner-city youth sport events, public areas in Belle Glade and Pahokee where children are mainly receiving free and reduced lunch, section 8 housing facilities for the elderly and their caregivers, local veteran housing facilities, and a food pantry that has been established at the PBSO District 6 Office.
Stop Food Insecurity
Monday through Friday we schedule incoming food deliveries/pickups and food to be distributed at our facility. The collaborations we engage with do not have the means necessary to pick up food from local food banks, however they have a location available and are willing to host food distributions with the food we provide them. Some collaborations pick-up from us and some we deliver to on a weekly schedule.
Homeless Not Hungry
Collaborating with others who have a heart for the homeless community, we provide food for their ongoing outreach projects.
Volunteer Food Pantry
RBI is very grateful for our amazing volunteer base, many are going through difficult times; some are in addiction recovery, on parole, or out of work parents but all of them come together with one common goal, to have a positive impact on food insecurity. RBI provides a safe place to serve with fellowship, spiritual connection, and purpose. At the end of their shift, volunteers who are in need are welcome to receive a food box and a variety of perishable and nonperishable food products.
