Food+ for neighbors

How Does it Work?

Food+ for Neighbors maximizes access to emergency food and other basic necessities for our neighbors to make sure that no one in Sheboygan County goes hungry. We do this by delivering food through a network of diverse organizations and addressing the root causes of hunger through a dignified client intake process.

Food and personal care items go directly to our neighbors through our onsite Sheboygan Cares Food Pantry, partner food pantries, and a variety of other organizations. By providing culturally-relevant and nutritious food items to all organizations, Food+ for Neighbors helps support a range of races and ethnic groups, including refugees.

Step 1

Individuals or family representatives seeking emergency food begin by calling a designated phone number to start the intake process.
Step 2

We gather basic data from clients, also sharing information on government programs and other resources offered by local organizations. Examples of resources are safe housing options, employment leads, financial assistance, mental health support, child care opportunities, and transportation services.
Step 3

We give a unique card to each client so they can visit food pantries, once per week, and receive food to help nourish themselves and their families.
