Project Lifeline
Project Lifeline is United Way of Broward County’s response to the increased demands being place upon organizations and agencies in our community due to the economic hardships now facing so many of our County’s families.
Initiated in May 2009, the program purchases and delivers nutritious food, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, rice, beans, grains and canned goods, to a network of approximately 25 food banks and feeding programs throughout Broward County. Food is delivered on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis, depending on the need/volume of clientele visiting each food pantry. Type of food (perishable/non-perishable) is also determined by the capacity of each pantry to store and distribute food. Pantry needs are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Satisfaction in food quality, delivery and overall operation of the program is also monitored throughout the year.
From May 2009 through January 2011, more than 3.3 million pounds of nutritious food have been distributed to more than 25 food pantries and feeding programs throughout Broward County.
