Thank you so VERY much to all who donated to this year's Neighbors Helping Neighbors Campaign benefitting the The FOOD Pantry Serving Waukesha County. For 2025 thus far, the campaign has raised $6480 - not including some recurring donations and some anticipated company matches that have not yet been accounted for. Will we make our $10K goal still? We'll know in early 2026. If you meant to donate and missed the campaign culmination on Dec. 13, you can still donate here:

🌟 Giving Tuesday Is Tomorrow — But You Can Donate Today!

***Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive***

Hello Neighbors!
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, a national day of generosity, but you don’t have to wait.

Although Giving Tuesday is tomorrow, we are already accepting donations, and early gifts truly help us build momentum for this year’s Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive.

💛 Donate Anytime (including today):

(100% of your donation—minus credit card processing fees—goes directly to the pantry.)

🥫 Why Your Support Matters More Than Ever
The FOOD Pantry Serving Waukesha County is facing increased demand while receiving less food support from key programs:

📉 Food supply is down 21%
• Last year: 1.9 million lbs from TEFAP + food recovery partners
• This year: 1.5 million lbs

📈 Need continues to rise
• 2021: 4,282 individuals served
• 2024: 8,897 individuals served
• Jan–Nov 20, 2025: 8,957 individuals served (a 7% increase)
• Over 99,812 pantry visits this year alone

These numbers represent our neighbors — families, seniors, and children who rely on the pantry during difficult times.

❤️ A Tradition of Compassion
Our neighborhood has supported this food drive for 25 years, raising over $130,000 and collecting more than 100,000 pounds of food. Every donation helps continue that tradition of caring and community.

🙏 How You Can Help
If you're planning to give this year, today and tomorrow are perfect opportunities to support our neighbors facing food insecurity.

— Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive Team

In November 2002, a group of families from our neighborhood took up a collection during the holidays and delivered it to the Food Pantry of Waukesha County. Seeing the extent of the need was the catalyst for the first food drive, and ongoing inspiration.
