Food disbursement
The Presbyterian Food Pantry of Green Bay, serving guests on the near West side, was formerly a part of First Presbyterian Church of Green Bay. While the Pantry has become a stand-alone 501(c)3 (charity), able to accept monetary donations as well as food from any source, First Pres continues to house and financially support the work being done here.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goals are to provide food and various sundries for personal hygiene to any individual regardless of age, sex, race, health, religious affiliation or economic condition.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Pantry is a joint effort among First Presbyterian Church of Green Bay, where it is housed, First United Presbyterian Church - De Pere, and Wequiock Presbyterian Church. In addition to efforts by each of the churches to collect food and raise funds for the Pantry, we also have partnerships with other organizations. As a member of Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, the Presbyterian Pantry has received funds through the annual Stock the Shelves Program that is supported by Green Bay Press-Gazette, local community foundations, and area businesses. The Presbyterian Pantry is a member of the Brown County Food and Hunger Network. By networking and working collaboratively with both organizations, the Pantry has been able to receive food donations through various food drives, such as the Letter Carriers Food Drive, the Girl and Boy Scouts ‘Scouting for Food’ program, and food distributions from Red Lobster, Festival Foods, Roundy’s, the Seymour Park Neighborhood Community garden, which is 2 blocks from the Pantry, and, of course our partner Presbyterian churches.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Pantry is supported by three Presbyterian Churches within the Green Bay area, with a wide base of volunteers who provide everything from donations, to bag packing, item pick-up, set-up, take-down, assistance to guests, and Board membership. We also write grants for large items such as freezers and a refrigeration unit.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The Pantry began in the early 1980s to provide basic food for Asian refugees when they settled into the area around the church. Over the years, the pantry has grown to include all racial demographics, age groups, and economic factors. As the needs of the Pantry grew, other Presbyterian Churches in the area were asked to join this effort. Today the Pantry is supported by three Presbyterian Churches within the Green Bay area and over 2,300 households annually, which includes over 9,000 adults and children, primarily from the immediate neighborhood of First Presbyterian Church in Green Bay. What's next? We know that poverty isn't going to go away anytime soon, so we will continue to serve as needed and potentially expand our reach as we receive more donations and grants.
