Who We Are: More Than Just a Food Pantry
The Minocqua Food Pantry is a non-profit organization dedicated to combating hunger and providing nutritional support to residents in need within the Minocqua area. We are driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to healthy food, regardless of their circumstances. Our compassionate team of staff and volunteers work tirelessly to create a welcoming and supportive environment for our clients, ensuring their dignity and respect.
But we are more than just a food distribution center. We strive to empower our clients with resources and knowledge to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. We believe in addressing the root causes of food insecurity by collaborating with community partners and advocating for long-term solutions.
How the Minocqua Food Pantry Works
We operate on a client-choice model, which means individuals and families can select the food items that best suit their dietary needs and preferences. This approach not only promotes a sense of agency but also reduces food waste. Clients visit the pantry on a scheduled basis and receive a pre-packed box of shelf-stable staples, fresh produce, and refrigerated items based on their household size.
