IT TAKES A WHOLE VILLAGE....

The Jewish Federation of Broward County built apartments off Commercial Boulevard in Sunrise. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) partially subsidizes its operation. The Pantry of Broward helps feed over 75 of the 230 residents over the age of 70 who are alone and "living" below the poverty level.

There is a waiting list of over two years - and growing - to enter the Leo Gudman Senior Center where residents have a maximum monthly income of less than $760 a month. The apartments are all efficiencies or one bedroom and all the seniors have to be independent and able to get around. Hardworking people who have lived longer than their savings who are basically broke.

Working together with other agencies to provide for seniors in need on low, fixed incomes, The Pantry of Broward reaches out to hundreds of seniors throughout Broward County each month. Please join the movement and help...
