You can help local food pantries restock their shelves for the upcoming months as the demand continues to rise in the area this spring. Door County Feed and Clothe My People Food Pantry Coordinator Ashley Madson says the organization typically averages about 30 families every month during the summer months but has already seen an uptick in the number of families and individuals picking up food due to higher costs for groceries. She suggests some of the food items and meal structures that are needed to refill the shelves at the pantry.
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 cash donations are much appreciated and that Door County Feed and Clothe My People is always looking for additional volunteers to help in the resale and donations area at the back of the store.
