ELMWOOD, WI – The Elmwood Food Pantry is fully stocked and continues to be open for CURBSIDE PICKUP three days a month. Volunteers are ready and waiting to provide families with the meat, groceries, and household supplies of their choice. Patrons are given a new checklist each visit when they drive up, which includes all of the items that are available that day, so they can easily choose what they want. Items selected are promptly delivered to their vehicle.
The pantry hours are 1st Tuesday of the month, 3-6 p.m., 3rd Tuesday of the month, 9-11 a.m., and 4th Saturday of the month, 9-11 a.m.
The Hugh J Anderson Foundation of Bayport, Minnesota has given a generous donation to the Elmwood Food Pantry for the past several years. Their stated mission is: “To give back to the community through focused efforts that foster inclusivity, promote equality, and to increase human independence, self-sufficiency, and dignity.” Again, this year Elmwood’s local pantry received a grant of $3,500. This is so greatly appreciated, as are the MANY generous donations of organizations, individuals, churches, and businesses of the area!
Anyone needing food on an emergency basis can call the Elmwood Food Pantry at 715-639-2307. Leave a message, including a phone number, and a volunteer will return your call. Monetary donations are always welcome and can be mailed to PO Box 124, Elmwood, WI 54740.
