If anyone knows anyone or has any connections.

Rochelle Gamauf, founder and executive director of Waukesha-based Friends with Food, told us that her nonprofit’s building at 713 N. Grandview Blvd. has suffered due to a leaky roof. Over the past two months, water has entered the building through the roof, damaging electrical panels and leaving mold on the walls at the back of the property.

The powers that be are contemplating on where we can store all of the wonderful blessings of food we’ve been receiving.
Quite simply we need a bigger space !!! We are desperately looking for a larger space, preferably with a cooler and freezer or the ability to have one built and a type of loading dock or garage door to bring our box truck into.
In addition, we are looking for more volunteers for food rescue pick ups and forklift drivers. We are currently struggling with limited volunteers with the ability and know how to be able to drive a box truck and forklift.
If you are available, interested, or know somebody we want to talk to you !!!

Please message us here or stop in during our service hours Tuesday mornings or Thursday afternoons to talk to us. Thank you !! 🙏
