Need Help with Food?
Do monthly bills such as rent, utilities, medical bills or fixing the car have stretched your budget and there’s nothing left to buy food this month. We can help.
The pantry is open 3rd Thursday of each month from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Our centrally located food pantry is a busy place, where friendly volunteers put food in the cars of pantry shoppers in a drive-through process.
Please Note
We provide assistance to eligible residents in the general Monroe and Green County, Wisconsin, area (Green County (WI), the eastern half of Lafayette County (WI), the northern third of Stephenson County (IL), and the far northeast corner of Jo Davies County (IL).
