You can help local food pantries restock their shelves for the busy fall season as demand rises. Door County Feed and Clothe My People Food Pantry Coordinator Ashley Madson says the organization helped an average of about 30 families every month during the summer with an increase in numbers for the upcoming holiday season. She shares some of the food items and meal structures that are in the greatest need right now.
The pantry is open to drop off and pick up Mondays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Madson notes that Door County Feed and Clothe My People is in need of volunteers for both the food pantry and donations/resale areas. You can find a listing of all pantries in Door County and how you can help provide donations or volunteering.
