Dunedin Cares 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.
Guests can choose their food creating an atmosphere of respect, building trust between clients, staff, and volunteers.
Our Mission
Dunedin Cares Food Pantry will strive to alleviate hunger by providing food to the local community, showing kindness, respect, and compassion as neighbors help neighbors.
How?
We receive food and money from our community corporations, schools, churches, local businesses, HOA's, other Non Profits, lots of individuals, and over 16,900 volunteer hours.
Why in Dunedin?
Statistics indicated that even in our delightful city of Dunedin, Florida, there were pockets of people who are “food insecure”, where children go to bed hungry and the elderly choose to purchase their medication over food.
we are closed MoN, 5/30 for Memorial Day
