The Salvation Army of Broward County is seeking non-perishable food items to help replenish its Food Pantry. Items needed include all canned goods (beans/vegetables, fruit, meat and milk), rice, boxed cereals, pastas and sauces, peanut butter and jelly, oatmeal, granola bars, snacks and other pre-prepared shelf-stable meals.

Presently, The Salvation Army of Broward County is feeding thousands of residents-in-need through its Food Pantry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each Thursday, trusted Army experts provide non-perishable items and other pantry goods to more than 100 underserved families and the number is growing. The organization also provides meals-to-go services for the homeless, its residents and other impoverished individuals.

Organizations interested in donating food or funds to The Salvation Army of Broward County should contact Alyse Gossman, director of development, at (954) 712-2431 or at [email protected].
