Name: Catholic Charities Mobile Food Pantry in Janesville, WI
Date: August 12, 2013
Time: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM CDT
Event Description:

The Mobile Food Pantry is held the second Monday of each month from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. at St. John Vianney Church in Janesville, WI. No ID required, just show up if you need food!

The pantry is open to everyone, you don't have to be Catholic or a member of the parish to participate. Just show up if you need food.

Catholic Charities' Parish Mobile Food Pantry serves rural communities who normally do not have access to the larger food pantries available in Madison.

The food pantry is a truck filled with food that parishioners volunteer to distribute. In just a short time, hundreds of pounds of food are distributed to those in need. Second Harvest loads the Foodbank truck and brings it to the various parishes, where volunteers assist people who come to pick up the food. This saves the parish from having to fund-raise, shop or store the food. Second Harvest generously waives the standard delivery fee in order to allow all available funds for the purchase of food.

Catholic Charities is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit agency. Founded in 1946 and governed by a local Board of Directors, our organization serves individuals and families in an eleven county area in south-central Wisconsin. Our mission is to provide compassionate, caring service designed to help those in need. Annually we assist over 60,000 individuals, children, and families through our 35+ programs. We accomplish our mission of charity with over 350 employees and close to 1,000 volunteers. We serve and employ people regardless of religious belief, sexual orientation, ethnic, racial or social background.
