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 city, local corporations, schools, churches, businesses, HOA’s, other non-profits and lot of individuals.

Who Do We Serve ?

Dunedin Cares serves Dunedin, Clearwater and Palm Harbor communities. We strive to reach those in our local communities which are “food insecure”, where children go to bed hungry and the elderly are forced to choose between food and needed medications.
