You will see a new leader starting April 1st at the Kewaunee County Food Pantry in Algoma.

After over ten years of serving as the president of the organization, Ken Marquardt will be trading roles with treasurer Mark Janiak starting on Monday.

Marquardt, and his wife Pat, are among 14 volunteers working at the Kewaunee Food Pantry, which typically serves over 120 area families monthly.  He says it is rewarding to give back to the community and help families keep enough food and supplies in their homes to live on.

By cutting back on his responsibilities with the pantry, Marquart says the change will allow Pat and him to travel more and enjoy family time together.  He notes that he is extremely proud of the organization’s accomplishments over the years, including the highly successful annual Spring Rummage Sale that wrapped up last Friday.

The Kewaunee County Food Pantry is located at 1528 Sunset Avenue and is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., with donations always accepted.
