Bezerra de Menezes Food Pantry
is part of the social assistance programs developed and managed by Bezerra de Menezes Kardecian Spiritist Assn Inc, a not-for-profit educational organization with 501(c)(3) status with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, founded in 1985 by Benjamin Rodriguez, located in Miami Florida.

The mission of the Bezerra de Menezes Food Pantry is to assist and provide supplement food to the needy in the Miami-Dade/Broward area.

BM Food Pantry is a distribution agency of the United States Department of Agriculture TEFAP program.

TEFAP is a Federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income needy persons, including elderly people, by providing them with emergency food and nutrition assistance. 

BM Food Pantry distribute the food directly to those in need. We combine TEFAP food with privately donated food for food package (or emergency food box) distribution at our food pantries. This “leveraging” of TEFAP commodities with privately donated food extends TEFAP program benefits beyond the budgeted amount for the program.
