Dedicated to supporting the Parkland community and those who are facing food insecurity.
Parkland CARES Food Pantry was established in 2018 by a dedicated group of individuals with a collective goal to fight hunger in their community. Determined to aid children and their families in the Parkland community suffering from hunger, the idea and plan for Parkland CARES was put in place.
We welcome Parkland School District residents, families and individuals once a month to shop at our Choice Pantry, allowing them to select the food items that best meet their unique needs. Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment where community members can access nutritious food with dignity and respect.
Your generous donation can make a meaningful impact in supporting Parkland CARES as we provide food, personal hygiene products, and Snack Pack items to families and students. Every dollar you contribute helps us make a difference in our community. Please click on the form below to begin the donation process and help us continue this important work.
