Our Mission
How We're Helping
How We're Helping
We offer our clients basic groceries on a weekly basis. Our hope is that eventually they will no longer need our services. Until that time, we will continue to serve their needs with dignity and respect.
We reach out to all members of our community and receive far more than we give.
Thank You

The Pantry Goes Green!
https://compostforlifemiami.com/
We are proud to be partnering with Compost For Life Miami!
We join them in their mission "to provide an alternative to our community
when it comes to handling food waste.
We want to help others, enjoy life, and leave this world better than we found it for this generation and those to come.
We truly believe in the power of humanity, and by making small changes in our daily habits, like composting, we all contribute to a greater cause."
Please support this excellent program and visit them online!
Community Involvement
Voluntering at the Pantry!
Our volunteers are the heart of our Pantry. As we have grown, so has our roster of volunteers. At this time, we find ourselves well-prepared with our existing group, to meet our goal to distribute food every week, so we are fully staffed .
We are very grateful to our community for the many offers of assistance in every way- volunteers, donors, and partners. If we find ourselves once again in need of volunteers, we will reach out on our website and Facebook page.
