A Client-Choice Pantry

Serving Clearwater, Dunedin, & Palm Harbor

We are proud to provide a dignified experience that empowers our guests.

What is a Client-Choice Pantry?

A client-choice food pantry enables guests to choose their food as they would at a grocery store rather than getting bags of food pre-packed for them by pantry staff. Our client-choice method creates an atmosphere of respect, building trust between clients, staff, and volunteers.
