Every ticket sold directly supports the Penitas Food Pantry and the families who rely on it. The Winter Texans in the nearby parks have consistently supported the pantry with food donations, volunteer work such as building gardens, and so much more. During the holidays a park resident, with the help of many others, coordinated turkey and ham donations, along with many of the sides, so that each family the pantry supports had holiday meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
