Good nutrition is key for building a strong immune system and to protect our bodies from getting things like viruses, colds or even the seasonal flu. There is not just one food or vitamin supplement that can prevent illness but you can help support your immune system by including some of these nutritious and vitamin rich foods in your overall eating plan on a regular basis.
The FOOD Pantry has been serving on the front lines providing free food to people in need in Waukesha County for more than 41 years. It is our goal to continue to do so while observing some additional practices and responses due to the possibility of COVID 19.
More than 40 years ago, a group of visionary Waukesha County residents began what is now known as The FOOD Pantry Serving Waukesha County. Their mission was to ensure that any person in need had access to free food to help reduce the negative impacts of poverty. The mission remains, but the vision has grown and evolved over time on a journey we call from Hunger to Health.
The FOOD Pantry Serving Waukesha County is honored to be a recipient of the proceeds from 2 of the largest food drives in the country: The Boys Scouts’ Scouting for Food Drive in March and the Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Drive in May.
