Catholic Charities Mobile Food Pantry in Platteville

  • Share:
Name: Catholic Charities Mobile Food Pantry in Platteville
Date: May 17, 2013
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CDT
Event Description:

A Mobile Pantry is held the 3rd Friday of the month from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. on the playground of St. Mary’s in Platteville, located on Bronson Street. No ID required, 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 Parish Mobile Food pantry is open to everyone, you don't have to be Catholic or a member of the parish to participate.

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 has served individuals and families in an eleven county area in south central Wisconsin since 1946. The programs we have reach those who are facing the transitions of aging, living with a disability, dealing with a crisis pregnancy, seeking to adopt, having marital or family problems, live in rural communities or seeking help with alcohol or drug abuse. We serve and employ persons regardless of sexual orientation, religious, ethnic, racial or social background.
