Parkland cares
food pantry
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.
