Cornerstone Food Pantry

iduals. The process of obtaining, assembling and distributing food is a labor of love performed by community volunteers. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of individuals and families who are food insecure in America. The national average of food insecure children is 1 in 5. In South Florida, it’s a staggering 1 in 4. Among those who visit the Food Pantry we see low-income and single-parent families who struggle to pay for shelter, utilities and childcare while providing food for their children. We also see older adults who are not only supporting their children, but their grandchildren as well. We serve a small number of veterans, physically and mentally disabled persons and homeless people – all as grateful for the kindness as the assistance. Our funding comes through individual donations, grants, and relationships with area schools, food stores and businesses. Volunteers are always welcome and donations are greatly appreciated.
