The Rotary Club of Dunedin was joined by the Dunedin Cares dynamic duo of Terri Scully, President, and Kristina Garcia, Executive Director. Dunedin Cares is a client-choice food pantry, meaning guests can enjoy the shopping experience of choosing the food items they need rather than being give a pre-packaged bag or box. Dunedin Cares also strives to be a healthy choice pantry, providing fresh nutritional food options. The level of food insecurity in Pinellas County, and locally in Dunedin, is astounding, and it affects people from all walks of life and all ages.
As the need grows, so, too, Dunedin Cares is feeling the push to expand. The organization is currently seeking a space that can accommodate a larger shopping space and more dry and refrigerated storage. Training and education is also a part of their future plans to help people transition to more food stability.
