Pantries facing restrictions find supply alternatives

The COVID19 pandemic is reducing some food donations to pantries in Kewaunee and Door counties, though they are finding no shortage of alternative sources and community support.  The Kewaunee County Food Pantry in Algoma has long bought food items at reduced costs through some suppliers.  Pantry President Ken Marquardt says they're now being limited on how much can be purchased at one time because of increased demand.  He says, however, they've been able to keep up with local demand with help from government programs.

 

 

 

Feed and Clothe My People of Door County in Sturgeon Bay is also keeping up with demand.   Director of Operations Estella Huff says that's due to great community support.

 

 

Feed and Clothe My People of Door County and the Kewaunee County Food Pantry say despite the pantry buildings being closed due to the pandemic, they're continuing to provide food to those in need. The hours of operation and other information are available with this story on our web page.
