If you are one of those snowbirds who come to Florida for the winter, only to head back to the north for the summer, Boca Helping Hands wants your help. You likely have non-perishable food that you’re preparing to trash. Don’t do it. Give it to BHH instead. Boca Helping Hands shared this request with BocaNewsNow.com:
