Shout Out to the Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin!

Through the Three R's—Rescue, Reclaim, and Redistribute (RRR)—and with the support of a $1,000 grant from the Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin, we were able to effectively rescue, reclaim, and redistribute more than 65,000 pounds of quality produce and other food items.

This funding helped us break down bulk donations into family-sized portions, allowing us to save more food from going to waste and put more nutritious food on the tables of families throughout our community.

Thank you, Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin, for your continued support and commitment to helping us feed our neighbors and reduce food waste. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

Is anyone in need of acoustical ceiling tiles?

As we renovate the Sauk Prairie Area Food Pantry's new location, we are removing a number of ceiling tiles that are still able to be reused/repurposed. The larger tiles measure 2' x 2', and there are also various smaller cut-to-size pieces available.

If you are interested, please send us a DM, or an email [email protected], or call 608-571-7737.

Cost: Make a donation to the pantry!
You pick up and you haul.

Giving these materials a second life helps reduce waste and supports our efforts as we prepare our new pantry home.

Thank you in advance for helping us put these items to good use!

Patrons of the Sauk Prairie Area Food Pantry,

Please be advised that, due to continued issues surrounding the patron “list,” we will no longer maintain a list determining the order in which patrons enter the pantry for distribution.

Instead, cards will be drawn at approximately 5:15 PM for evening or 9:15am for morning or when the Distribution Manager for that distribution is ready to begin.

The order of entry will be as follows:
• Spades – Ace through 10
• Diamonds – Ace through 10
• Clubs – Ace through 10
• Hearts – Ace through 10

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to make distributions as fair and efficient as possible.
