Merciful Heavens gathers fresh produce, pantry staples, and a full holiday spread — then puts it directly into the hands of families across Jupiter and Palm Beach County, working through local agencies to find them. Most pick up in person; we deliver to those who can't.
We work with local agencies throughout Jupiter and Palm Beach County to identify families in need. Every November, our neighbors, restaurant family, and local volunteers come together to source fresh produce and pantry staples in bulk and hand-pack them into grocery bags, turkey included. Most families pick them up in person; for those who can't, we deliver. No paperwork, no lines — just a full bag and a "thank you," family to family.
Thanksgiving is our biggest drive of the year, but our mission is fighting food insecurity in our community year-round.
Every bag passes through the same hands-on process, run almost entirely by volunteers and local donors.
Truckloads of fresh produce, potatoes, and pantry staples are sourced in bulk from local growers and suppliers.
Volunteers unload and sort everything by hand — vegetables, canned goods, and holiday extras — ready for packing.
Every bag is filled with a full Thanksgiving spread, from cranberry sauce to fresh corn, and labeled with care.
Most families pick up their bag in person on distribution day; our team delivers to those who can't make it, porch to porch.
