OUR HISTORY
Seven years ago, a group
of families from our subdivision decided to do something
charitable during the holidays. A monetary contribution
was made to the Food
Pantry in Waukesha. When we arrived at the Food Pantry,
the line was out the door and the parking lot was full.
We all were touched by the sight. During the last four
years, we expanded our efforts. Last year alone, we collected
over $3,721 and over-filled nine full
pallets with food from our neighborhood donations! Way
to go neighbors!!

A
special thanks to all the businesses that have gone
out of their way to help make our Food Drive a successful
one.

The Food Pantry of Waukesha served over 5,000 clients
last December. The need for help
continues and isn’t slowing down. The Food Pantry
is accepting non-perishable food items,
non-food items, and monetary donations.
Tips to help your donation best meet the needs of our
local food pantry:
- A donation of money is usually more valuable than
a donation of food.
- Donated money gives the pantry staff purchasing
power to buy products in bulk at bulk discount
prices. The staff can also purchase what is needed
to provide a balanced, nutritional package to the
families they serve. (Please send a check made
payable to “Food
Pantry of Waukesha County,” to
Dave Rebro at 3212 Woodridge Lane. No cash
will be accepted.)
- Our local pantry is always in need of diapers
or other non-food items to help families
with infants and young children.
Items that the food pantries will welcome
as donations include:
- meals in a can, such as stews and ravioli
- canned soups
- canned tuna or other canned meat
- peanut butter
- pasta, pasta sauces
- canned fruit
- macaroni and cheese mix
- disposable diapers and baby
formula (heavy need for these items!)
- hygiene products – soap, shampoo, tooth
paste, tooth brushes,
dental floss,
deodorant
