The Pantry of Broward
A little about Pantry of Broward:
The Pantry of Broward feeds over 600 seniors and grand families on a monthly basis, providing food boxes containing both nutritious perishable and non-perishable items.
​
One of our missions is to improve our clients quality of life by relieving them from the stress of food insecurity.
​
We do this by providing them with a free, monthly, supplemental food box which lowers their risk of food insecurity and frees up their disposal funds for other much more needed expenses like rent, electricity, medical bills, etc. More than 600 individuals (including over 100 grandchildren) benefit from and depend upon our monthly food box program.
​
We lower their risk of food insecurity and free up some funds for other much needed items. More than 1,000 individuals (including 165+ grandchildren) benefit from and depend upon this food supplement
each month.
​
Each of our clients meet with one of our Program Service representatives regularly to review their individual needs and together they determine how The Pantry of Broward can best help them during these fast, unpredictable, changing times.
