Working together to end Hunger!
When we hit hard times, many of us are fortunate enough to have family, friends, and neighbors who can offer a helping hand. Wisconsinites care about their communities, and food pantries, community organizations, and local businesses work hard every day to help their neighbors in need.
Sometimes, that help isn't enough. FoodShare helps bridge that gap by providing grocery money for eligible families. This helps to ensure that food pantries have enough food for families who don't qualify for FoodShare.
Together with community organizations, FoodShare strengthens communities by providing the fuel and nutrition people need while they get back on their feet. Unfortunately, many Wisconsinites who are eligible for FoodShare don't enroll. Feeding Wisconsin’s area food banks partners with food pantries, religious groups, and other community organizations to help anyone who wants to apply for FoodShare learn more about the program and get help with the application. Our helpline staff are based out of Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, but coordinate for statewide support with Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, Feed My People Food Bank, St. Croix Valley Foodbank, and Sheboygan County Food Bank.
