See COVID-19 procedures here

Need Help with Food?

Video by Edgewood College students with FACTv help Some month, rent, utilities, bus fare, medical bills or fixing the car have stretched your budget and there’s nothing left to buy food this month. We can help.

The pantry is open Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays 10:30 am to 2:30 pm; Thursdays 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm. (*CLOSED on Saturdays due to COVID-19). We’re closed on some, but not all holidays.

You may be eligible to use the food pantry if …

• You live a Dane County household with total income under 300 percent of the federal poverty level. (This increased 300 percent figure applies for now, during the COVID-19 crisis. See how your income compares by clicking here. Under rules for a federal program that supplies some pantry food, this total household-income eligibility figure will likely move to 200 percent later.)
• You can provide identification for each member of your household you’ll be shopping for.

If you have questions about pantry hours, your eligibility or the forms of  ID needed, please call us at 608-257-0919 ext. 38. Open four days per week, our centrally located food pantry is a busy place, where friendly volunteers put food in the cars of pantry shoppers in a drive-through process. (Note that the pantry is open on Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays, but closed on Saturdays until further notice.)
