JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Lil Duval paid for 35,000 meals in Jacksonville through Feeding Northeast Florida amid SNAP delays, according to his Instagram page.
Feeding Northeast Florida is making sure those in need of food are able to get it this weekend. As an emergency response to the government shutdown, volunteers are packing thousands of boxes of food at the warehouse on Old Kings Road on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Lil Duval posted on his Instagram that he paid for thousands of meals for families and that he’s matching every gift up to $10,000.

One is at Regency Square Mall in Jacksonville at 9501 Arlington Expressway, starting at 10 a.m.
-
The other is at the MLK Center in Fernandina Beach at 1200 Elm Street beginning at 8 a.m.
Both of the distributions are drive-thru with walk-up accommodations available. No one has to bring an ID to get food.
