Boca Helping Hands has been granted a new refrigerated truck for its food pantry outreach program.

The organization said this week that the truck, valued at about $50,000, was donated by The Order of St. John, Knights Hospitaller (Malta), Florida Commandery.

At the ribbon cutting ceremony held this week, Commander Isabelle Paul stated that the Order of St. John Florida Commandery has a long history of supporting Boca Helping Hands.



“One of our first donations was Boca Helping Hands’ first refrigerated truck,” she said. “We have come full circle with helping to purchase a 26-foot refrigerated truck to add to the other trucks needed to pick up food for BHH’s pantry program.”

The Order of St. John, Knights Hospitaller, (Malta), founded in 1099, is among the oldest Orders of Chivalry in existence today, the third oldest religious order, and has continuously served the sick and poor for 965 years, the organization said. The Order of St. John is made up of more than 1,200 Knights and Dames, located in Europe, the United States, Canada, Caribbean, Latin America and Australia.

Boca Helping Hands (BHH) is a community-based nonprofit that provides food, medical, and financial assistance to help individuals and families improve their quality of life and build financial stability. Through its various programs, BHH assists nearly 35,000 people annually.
