Grant keeps pantries moving

Donated food and other items will be able to ride in style after a grant from the Door County Emergency Response Fund. The joint venture between the Door County Community Foundation and the United Way of Door County recently awarded Lakeshore CAP with funds to purchase a used truck to transport items from donors to their food pantry in Sturgeon Bay. Having a more reliable vehicle is even more important now since Lakeshore CAP and seven other institutions in the area joined forces earlier this summer to form the Door County Food Pantry Coalition. Sandi Soik from Lakeshore CAP says the vehicle has made a big difference with how everyone works together.

The Door County Food Pantry Coalition is preparing for what could be a busy fall and winter with people in need of food and other critical items. Since being restarted in March, the Door County Emergency Response Fund has raised over $795,000 to help non-profits and other organizations get through the pandemic.
