NBC 6’s Julia Bagg takes a look at what has become a South Florida tradition.
A yearly tradition during the holidays in South Florida took place Wednesday with CAMACOL’s annual holiday food basket giveaway.
People lined up for hours before the 7 a.m. giveaway started at the Latin Chamber of Commerce of the USA’s building in the 1400 block of West Flagler Street.

“I feel thankful, very very very thankful," said one participant.
Organizers said while they have been able to distribute thousands of baskets in the past, this year they are only able to give away up to 700.
