WE ARE WHERE OTHERS NEED HELP
Every month, The Pantry of Broward distributes a food box of nutritious food to seniors who are in need and grandparents raising their grandchildren. By hosting a drive, you can help fill those boxes! Organize a food drive (virtual or in person) at your place of work, place of worship, in your neighborhood, your school, with your organization - the sky is the limit!
If you have any further questions on how to do a food drive, need a flyer or would like to schedule a drive, please feel free to call (954) 358-1481.

THANKSGIVING DRIVE
Each year, The Pantry needs more than 300 frozen turkeys so that it can provide its clients with an additional food box during the month of November complete with a 10- to 12-pound turkey and most of the fixings needed for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
You can help by organizing a turkey drive and by letting The Pantry know approximately how many turkeys you will be donating (so that we will know not to purchase too many). The turkeys are distributed to clients the week before Thanksgiving, so please plan to have your turkeys to The Pantry approximately 10 days prior to Thanksgiving.
