SourceOne Property Restoration Group Supports the Community Through Thanksgiving Food Drives
For SourceOne Property Restoration Group, giving back to the community is an important part of our mission. This year, we proudly organized two successful Thanksgiving food drives benefiting The Pantry of Broward, an organization devoted to fighting hunger and supporting families in need across Broward County.
Hunters NightClub and the November 6th Event
On November 6th, SourceOne partnered with Hunters Night Club in Wilton Manors to host the first food drive. Community members gathered from 4 PM to 8 PM to donate essential Thanksgiving items like canned goods, stuffing, and pie crusts. Hunters, a well-loved local venue, has long been a hub for bringing people together, and their support helped amplify the event’s impact by creating a welcoming environment for donors.
Mills Pond Park: November 17th Softball Food Drive Success
The second event, held on November 17th at Mills Pond Park in Fort Lauderdale and was part of softball Sunday with the SFAAA (The South Florida Amatuer Athletic Association) saw another wave of generosity from the community. Running from 9 AM to 12 PM, this drive attracted the various softball teams and their families, friends and individuals eager to contribute. SourceOne is one of the softball leagues’ many sponsors and Mill Ponds Park provided the perfect backdrop for this community initiative.

The Pantry of Broward: A Lifeline for the Community
Our food drives were dedicated to supporting The Pantry of Broward, an incredible nonprofit organization that provides monthly food boxes to over 600 families in need. Their work extends beyond food distribution—they also assist with housing and legal applications, ensuring that struggling families and seniors in Broward County have the resources they need to thrive. Partnering with such a vital organization was an honor for SourceOne.
The Impact: A Community Comes Together
Thanks to the incredible generosity of local residents and businesses, both events were resounding successes. Multiple boxes filled with essential Thanksgiving items and also cash donations were delivered to The Pantry of Broward, ensuring that families in need could enjoy a warm, festive meal. The events not only showcased the power of collaboration but also underscored the deep sense of community in Fort Lauderdale.
Looking Ahead
