The Port of Palm Beach proudly continued its annual holiday tradition of giving back by partnering with its tenants to support children in our local community. Thanks to the generosity of our port family, the Port collected more than $7,000 worth of gifts for 302 children in the Azure Estates neighborhood in Riviera Beach, located less than two miles from the Port.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to help bring joy to local families and make a positive difference during the holiday season” said Vice Chair Dr. Deandre Poole. “This is what it’s all about!”

Each year, our toy drive reflects the Port’s commitment to being more than an economic engine, we are also a community partner. 

“Because I didn’t have much growing up, I know how important it is to give back and help create special holiday moments for children,” said Port of Palm Beach Executive Director Michael Meekins. “I’m grateful to our Port family for making this possible.”
