HEY YOU! Yes, YOU!

We see you sitting there wondering what to do next week — and we have the answer!

We could use extra hands Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:30/9:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. And whether next week brings storms and/or scorching heat, WAFER is the perfect reason to get out of the house and do something that really matters.

Your time directly helps us serve the 1,500+ families counting on us every month. It's a few hours that make a huge difference.

This is your opportunity to finally make sense of your finances — for free.

On June 15th from 9:00–10:30 a.m., WAFER is hosting Know Yourself, Know Your Resources — a free financial wellness workshop from WorkMoney that meets you exactly where you are.

Most of us were never taught how to manage money. This is your chance to change that. In just 60–90 minutes you'll walk away with a clearer picture of your own relationship with money, a better understanding of how the financial system works, and real connections with neighbors navigating the same things. No background knowledge required. No pressure. Nothing to buy or sell.

Just an opportunity to show up for yourself.

Where: WAFER Food Pantry — 1603 George St, La Crosse, WI 54603
When: Monday, June 15th 9-10:30
RSVP: 608.782.6003 or [email protected] — space is limited and we want to make sure there's a seat and snack for you!

We're not CEREAL-sly this excited... oh wait, yes we are!

1st Community Credit Union is collecting cereal for WAFER this week as part of their Financial Food Drive Challenge — and we are SO grateful! Drop off a box at their location and ensure local families start their day right. Every bowl counts!

Join us this week only (June 1st - 6th) for the Financial Institution Food Drive! Help raise awareness for and reaching our goal of 100 cereal boxes. Cash donations are also welcome, so we can do the shopping!
Stop by any of our three locations in West Salem, Sparta, or Tomah.

Next Tuesday’s cooking class still has room, and it’s the perfect chance to discover how simple, tasty, healthy meals can be. We hear it all the time: “I wish I had started attending years ago” and “I never thought I’d like ___!” You might surprise yourself too. Sign up today!

Thanks to wonderful retail partners, such as Walmart Onalaska, Walmart La Crosse, , Target, Aldi, and more, the produce shelves are especially full and varied today. If you don’t need a full package yet, you’re welcome to stop in and grab some fresh produce to carry you through the week.

Take a look at the beautiful produce that arrived this morning. Our minds are already wandering: a big dinner salad with all the fixings, fruit salad, steamed broccoli, a fresh veggie tray, sautéed spinach… and we could keep going. So many delicious possibilities.

A huge shout‑out to the incredible crew of volunteers who spent several hours sprucing up the landscaping and the outside of the building. It was a hot day, but with grit, teamwork, and zero complaints, they got it done.

This work matters — not just for neighborhood pride, but because a fresh, welcoming facility sends a message of dignity and care to every shopper who walks through our doors.

We’re also deeply grateful to Trees Today Nursery for donating all the mulch needed to refresh every bed, and to for providing dinner to our hardworking volunteers.

Community effort at its finest, and we’re so thankful for each of you who made it happen.
