Pantry Network Engagement

Feeding Wisconsin Pantry Network Engagement

The COVID-19 crisis is creating an unprecedented new food security threat to households in Wisconsin. Our food banks and pantries are experiencing challenges navigating supply and demand. Families who were already food insecure are facing tougher times as they now need to provide breakfast and lunch for their kids who are out of school.

This page and monthly calls provide information to support food pantry operations and a space to provide peer-to-peer sharing.
