• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Hundreds of people in Miami-Dade County have been lining up since yesterday morning to receive essential holiday items.

Event Logistics and Impact

• 🐷 Families are receiving holiday items, including a large pork, which can be a significant expense for many during the holiday season.
• 🤝 The event is a collaborative effort involving numerous local organizations, distributors, and vendors.
• 🚧 The move to LoanDepot Park was partly due to street construction at the traditional 14th and Flagler location.
