It seems impossible, but we're already gearing up for our big back to school backpack and supply giveaway.

Extended Hands Pantry joins the Dane County community in grieving the sudden loss of Michael Johnson, President and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County. His compassion, leadership, and dedication to young people and families left a lasting imprint on our entire community.
