This week in Pembroke Park, Inter Miami CF defenders Ian Fray, Noah Allen, and goalkeeper William Yarbrough stepped off the field and into volunteer roles—swapping kits for packing food boxes to help revitalize Feeding South Florida’s distribution center.
The project marks the first win on the 2025 Lowe’s Hometowns scoreboard—a fresh start in more ways than one, and a big step toward Lowe’s goal of delivering 10 million square feet of impact nationwide.
Feeding South Florida, a Feeding America affiliate and the largest food bank in the region, received a $300,000 Lowe’s Hometowns grant to upgrade its main sort and storage facility. The renovation expanded the space and doubled the organization’s capacity to rescue and distribute fresh, nutritious food across South Florida.
With the upgrade complete, Feeding South Florida’s reach has grown significantly. The facility can now serve up to 2.4 million individuals annually—up from 1.2 million—and its Client Choice Food Pantry is set to expand from 150,000 to 300,000 individuals served.
The renovation wasn’t just a behind-the-scenes play. To kickoff the start of the Leagues Cup, Lowe’s red vest associates joined Inter Miami CF players and Leagues Cup volunteers to paint more than 10,000 square feet throughout the facility, helping bring the transformed space to life.
As the first completed project in Lowe’s 2025 Hometowns lineup, the Feeding South Florida renovation sets the tone for what’s to come—a national commitment to rebuilding spaces that fuel connection, dignity, and resilience.
