Westfield Broward has launched #WestfieldCares in Plantation to highlight organizations and the charitable work they are doing to confront the effect the COVID-19 pandemic is having on vulnerable populations in our community. The program, part of the company’s response to the COVID-19 crisis along with monetary and in-kind donations, is intended to help drive awareness and additional donations for non-profits that serve groups such as those experiencing homelessness, economically disadvantaged families, seniors and children.

Using #WestfieldCares, Westfield Broward and its employees are posting on social media some of the ways they are working within the community to celebrate and encourage giving back, with the hope of inspiring others to do the same. Locally, Westfield initiatives include support of the following organizations:

• Plantation Police Department| On Thursday, April 16, Westfield Broward is partnering with Chick-fil-A to deliver 41 meals to the local Plantation Police Department to thank them for their services during COVID-19. The meals will be delivered during two trips, the first at 11:30 a.m., for the morning shift; and the second at 6:00 p.m., for the night shift.

• Broward Pantry Donations| Westfield Broward will provide monetary donations on an ongoing basis to Broward Pantry to help provide meals and supplies to families who are affected by COVID-19. Broward Pantry isa local non-profit organization that serves seniors in need on low, fixed incomes and grandparents raising their grandchildren. Broward Pantry will provide a thank you letter to those who donate. For more information and to learn how to donate, please visit https://www.thepantryofbroward.org/donate/

Westfield Broward has also engaged to thank first responders and medical professionals who are putting themselves in harm’s way each day on behalf of the communities they operate in.
