The Pantry of Broward, Inc.

The Pantry of Broward, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Broward County, South Florida, founded in 2008. The company's mission is to provide food and support services to seniors in need on low, fixed incomes and to grandparents raising their grandchildren throughout the county. Serving a niche market of elderly low-income individuals and custodial grandparents, The Pantry addresses the needs that were not being adequately met by other food pantries in the area. The organization offers scheduled appointments for clients, providing them with a generous monthly food box, case management services, access to vision care, hearing exams, hearing aids, emergency utility and rental payment assistance. Additionally, through "Hairstylists for Humanity," some clients have received free haircuts and styles. The Pantry ensures that the unique needs of each client are taken into consideration, even delivering food to homebound seniors. Furthermore, the company assists clients in signing up for food stamps and accessing various community resources and services. The Pantry of Broward, Inc. has created a significant impact by addressing the specific and often overlooked needs of the elderly and custodial grandparents in Broward County, offering them dignity, respect, and essential support services.
