Daytona Beach, FL – Volunteers are being called to action this weekend as the Volusia Sheriff’s Office and community partners host a two-day SNAP food drive at Daytona International Speedway. The event comes as local families face challenges from the ongoing SNAP program shutdown.
According to the Florida Sheriffs Association, the initiative aims to support Volusia County residents affected by the suspension of federal food benefits. The drive, held at the NASCAR Drive entrance of the speedway, will include donation and distribution days with the help of dozens of local volunteers and sponsors.
Donation Day is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., followed by Distribution Day on Sunday, Nov. 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Volunteers are asked to arrive at 8 a.m. both days.
The food drive is supported by The Jewish Federation of Volusia & Flagler Counties, Walmart, and Daytona International Speedway, along with the Volusia Sheriff’s Youth Foundation. Organizers say community involvement will be crucial in meeting the rising demand for assistance.
Residents interested in volunteering can sign up by emailing communityrelations@volusiasheriff.gov.
