WHAT IS SEAHAWK MARKETPLACE?
Seahawk Marketplace is an on-campus pantry which opened its first location on the Broward College Central Campus in Davie in 2021 as an effort to address food insecurity among students, and opened a second location on the Judson A. Samuels South Campus in April of 2023.
The mission of the Seahawk Marketplace is to reduce hunger and hardship in the Broward College community by creating access to food and personal hygiene care items, providing guidance, leveraging community programs, and offering educational programs on the value of nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. A third Seahawk Marketplace on the Broward College North Campus will open later this year.
The Seahawk Marketplace is possible thanks to the generosity of donors and partners: The Florida Blue Foundation, Feeding South Florida, LifeNet4Families, Holy Cross Hospital, Publix, CareMax, Broward County Public Schools, the American Heart Association, Walmart, The Batchelor Foundation, and individuals like yourself.
