Nourish MKE

Nourish MKE NourishMKE, formerly Friedens Food Pantries, is a network of food centers and pantries building community through nourishment.

NourishMKE, formerly Friedens Food Pantries, is the largest network of community food centers (food pantries) in Milwaukee. We create encouraging spaces where neighbors can select and prepare free, quality food with dignity while building relationships and having experiences that support wellness in all areas of life. In our spaces, everyone can find the nourishment they need. Each year our networ

k of community food centers nourishes 45,000 lives with food and friendship at four locations and through home deliveries. As a community, we’re always looking for new ways to remove barriers to food so that more people can be nourished. Our community food centers provide access to a choice-based shopping experience and exposure to each part of the food life cycle—growing, preparing, consuming, and composting. In the same way that we nurture food from seed to table, we demonstrate our care and thoughtfulness to our guests by offering food demos to help them learn how to prepare ingredients that are new to them. When it is their turn to shop, our guests are paired with a volunteer who helps them pick items and carry bags. Everyone leaves with groceries for their family and new food knowledge.
