Families are feeling the impact of recent cuts to FoodShare benefits, stretching grocery budgets thinner than ever.

We believe no one should have to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table. Our Food Center provides nutritious groceries and household essentials to families who need them most — but right now, our shelves are running low on key items.

We’re calling on our community to come together to help keep our shelves filled and ensure families have access to healthy, reliable food.

🤝WAYS TO HELP:
1️⃣ Donate Food or Essentials — Refer to our Urgent Food Needs List.
2️⃣ Make a Monetary Donation — Every dollar helps us purchase fresh and shelf-stable foods: https://tinyurl.com/5f6cmdjy
3️⃣ Shop Our Amazon Wish List — Have donations sent directly to the Food Center: https://tinyurl.com/y78ycs6s
4️⃣ Volunteer — Help us sort, stock, and distribute food with compassion and care.

Your support ensures no family in our community goes hungry. Together, we can make sure everyone has access to the nourishment and dignity they deserve.

The Fondy Farmers Market is the oldest farmers market in the city of Milwaukee. For more than a century, it’s brought produce and other goods fresh from the makers who create them. We explore the market alongside Venice Williams, the executive director of the Fondy Food Center.
