Hooray! It is official that we can announce that Little John's is moving into the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County !
Looking back on 2023 we are so proud to have served seniors in our community with our evening meals on wheels program, all ages of humans at our Little John’s Lunchbox at the Madison Children's Museum, people who are without housing on Dairy drive, as well as a multitude of food insecure families with Feeding The Youth !!!
Looking forward to 2024 we will continue those projects and we will also be cooking chef quality meals for hundreds of kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County!!!
Help us continue to serve and work toward someday moving into our own larger kitchen:

Little John’s is the County’s only provider for Evening Meals on Wheels. Little John’s is also able to ensure food rescue is a core component, another unique feature of this important work!

Nat's kindness and dedication to Little John's is inspiring and a testament to how wonderful our community is.
