Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Food Pantry
The largest food pantry in the area -- serving Marinette and Menominee Counties. Each month, we have hundreds of visits to our weekly food distribution.
Thrift Store
Our thrift store provides a low-cost alternative to department stores and offers direct charity to people in need by giving away – through a voucher system –clothing, housewares, and furniture from store inventory.
Job Training
We work with individuals and programs such as Drug Court, FoodShare Employment and Training (FSET), and the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) to create pathways out of poverty. The program establishes a positive employment record, sets career goals, and provides transferable job skills.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are looking to eliminate the issue of hunger on our community members' already full plates. By having the area's largest food pantry, we work hard to make sure anyone and everyone can get to us for food and have enough to make it through until their next trip.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We collaborate with fellow local nonprofits to address immediate needs and ensure non-duplication of services with donor funding allowing our donations to stretch as far as possible. We are visited nearly 500 times a month by neighbors in need who receive food distributions weekly in our food pantry.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have the area's largest food pantry.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We serve thousands each year and that number continues to grow. We hope to continue to be an asset for our communities.

- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
