The Cooperative Feeding Program View Charity Profile
In October 2005, The Cooperative Feeding Program celebrated 20 years of service to the hungry and homeless of Broward County. From the humble beginnings of distributing a few peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the homeless, to today's provision of 1.2 million meals a year, the agency's dramatic development has reflected both the growing numbers and the growing needs of the poor in our community. To be part of a seamless system of care, in Broward County, to reduce the pain and suffering of individuals and families in poverty by providing necessary food, ancillary services and referrals
The Cooperative Feeding Program Volunteer Information
Volunteers are the only means by which The Cooperative Feeding Program is able to function! Currently, close to 500 volunteers give of themselves in service to the hungry and the homeless through The CFP, serving meals to the hungry in our Community Kitchen; organizing food and clothing drives; preparing boxes of emergency food supplies through our Emergency Pantry; helping design and implement awareness raising and fundraising campaigns, and a whole lot more!
If we had more volunteers, The Cooperative Feeding Program could do even more! Currently we serve over 1.3 MILLION meals each year with a budget of $ 1.9million, with 63% of our budget being in-kind donations. With an administrative cost of about 7%, we are literally putting your money where their mouths are!
