Families line up for annual CAMACOL food basket giveaway

MIAMI – A long line formed before dawn for the annual CAMACOL food basket giveaway in Little Havana.

Approximately 700 bags of groceries will be distributed at this drive-in only event.

The Latin Chamber of Commerce is gifting the community with rice, beans, pork, and everything they need to prepare Buena Noche meals for 5 – 6 people.

Event organizers stress that this is drive-in only. For those who don’t have a car, families are allowed to pair up in the same vehicle.

Drivers are asked to line up at NW 7th Street and 14th Avenue, next to loanDepot park. They will then head south to the CAMACOL building on Flagler Street where the distribution will take place.

The gift baskets are given to families in need on a first-come, first-serve basis.
