September 2025: Hunger Action Totes

Across our community, many of our neighbors face the daily challenge of food insecurity. Each month, The Pantry of Broward serves over 600 seniors and grand-families, ensuring they receive food boxes filled with both perishable and non-perishable items. For this DIY Project, volunteers are being asked to collect non-perishable food items and assemble Hunger Action Totes that will be delivered to The Pantry of Broward to support the families they serve. By coming together, we can raise awareness and help provide nutritious food for those in need.
