BBEO Supports Pantry of Broward Holiday Food Drive

The Broward Black Elected Officials brought some holiday good tidings recently to The Pantry of Broward, a new non-profit organization that serves County seniors and seniors raising their grandchildren.   Led by President M. Margaret Bates, a Lauderhill commissioner, the BBEO presented the Pantry with funds to purchase turkeys. The turkeys were distributed free to senior citizens during Christmas week. The BBEO’s State Rep. Hazelle Rogers and its immediate past president, Levoyd Williams, joined Commissioner Bates for the presentation.

The group was given a tour of the facilities, visited the holiday toy closet for grandchildren and even helped dress teddy bears to be donated to young children. “Many thanks for a generous donation,” Loughan said in a letter. “We are looking forward to working more closely with the Broward Black Elected Officials on some of the issues that need to be changed . . .to help Broward’s needy seniors and grandparents raising their children.”

The Broward Panty is located at 610 N.W. Third Avenue, near Sistrunk Boulevard.
