Hunger Prevention Program at Charlotte CARE Center

Charlotte Community Meals

Our Hunger Prevention Program at the Charlotte CARE Center, includes Hot Meals and a Food Pantry. Hot Meals serves nutritious breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks 365 days a year.  Food items include fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen food, and non-perishable food.  We also provide food for pets to help offset increasing monthly expenses.

All those in need of a nourishing meal are welcome to join us for lunch and/or dinner.

Charlotte Community Donations and Volunteers

The Hunger Prevention Program relies heavily on its partnerships with area restaurants, grocery chains, faith-based organizations, businesses, and citizens of Charlotte County who are responsible for much of the food distributed and used in meal preparation.
