Nourishing
Families. Strengthening Futures.
Patricia Ann Cargill Charities provides high-quality, nutritious food to families across Northeast Ohio and builds pathways toward long-term stability through education, empowerment, and community support.
Join us for Welcome Wednesdays
Every Wednesday, 1–3pm. All are welcome.
More Than a Pantry
Food is often where the crisis shows up first.
An empty refrigerator. A child who keeps asking what’s for dinner. A parent doing the math and realizing it’s groceries or gas, not both.
That’s where we step in.
We provide fresh, nutritious food in an environment built on dignity and choice. Families shop. They select what fits their household. They are welcomed as human beings, not processed as numbers.
But we know food alone solves the problem. That’s why we pair nourishment with education, financial empowerment, and consistent community support. We want families to leave with groceries, yes. And also with a little more confidence, a little more breathing room, and a sense that they’re not alone.
We don’t want families to just get through the week. We want them to move forward.
“
Donte Cargill
Founder, PACC
“Patricia Ann Cargill fed people from her own kitchen, even while battling aggressive cancer. Her generosity was never performative. It was simply who she was.”
In 2022, Donte founded Patricia Ann Cargill Charities to carry his mother’s legacy forward. What began as personal generosity has grown into a structured, community-centered organization serving families across Northeast Ohio. The mission remains simple and steady: serve with dignity, feed with excellence, and care without judgment.
Food. Education. Empowerment.
Food opens the door. But stability takes more than groceries.

F.E.E.D.

Behind every number is a family who didn’t have to choose between groceries and rent. Children going to school fed. Parents sleeping easier. Grandparents feeling supported instead of forgotten.

No donation is too small. Every dollar goes directly toward nourishing families with dignity.
