With the help of a $150,000 grant, the Palm Springs Unified School District was set to distribute 1,200 boxes of fresh produce to families in need Wednesday.
The first box was set to be handed out at a drive-up site at 150 District Center Drive at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
A previous PSUSD distribution was able to hand out 800 boxes.
The grant, which comes as part of the LFPA Farms Together Program, was used to acquire packages of watermelon radish, carrots, guava, clamshell lettuce, Persian cucumbers, butternut squash, pomegranates, Asian pears, sweet limes and Coachella Valley sweet corn, according to a PSUSD statement.
The event was expected to last two hours.
