The Dunedin Cares Difference

More Than a Food 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.

CLIENT CHOICE
Guests shop for the foods that best meet their family's needs.

FRESH & NUTRITIOUS FOOD
Fresh produce, meat, dairy, pantry staples and other essentials are available based on supply.

CHILDREN & FAMILIES
Special programs help ensure children have nutritious food when they need it most.

DIGNITY & RESPECT
Every person who walks through our doors is treated as our neighbor.
