Ending hunger starts here.

The FOOD Pantry of Waukesha County serves people in our community struggling to make ends meet. Their income cannot cover all housing, medical, grocery, and emergency expenses. Healthy food is often sacrificed, which can lead to health issues, isolation, and more struggle.

Thanks to the generous support of donors and volunteers the FOOD Pantry of Waukesha County is able to offer a critical safety net. By providing nutritious food and supportive services to people in need including families with children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, together we are making a positive difference in the health and well-being of our neighbors - and making Waukesha County a vibrant place to live and work for all.

Day-to-day pantry operations are supported entirely by generous and dedicated volunteers. The Food Pantry is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and a small staff provides oversight to all aspects of fund and food-raising efforts, fiduciary responsibilities, donor database management, volunteer recruitment and coordination, and administration of government food programs, as well as food purchasing, inventory and safety regulations.
