With food security becoming more of an issue this year with high inflation and grocery costs, local food pantries are seeking a greater need for donations to meet the demand. In 2022, 17 million households in America were reported to be food insecure, compared to 13.5 million in 2021, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) study. Ashley Madson from Feed & Clothe My People of Door County says the pantry has been considerably busier than before, especially around the current holidays. She says the pantry could use more donations for the 30 to 40 families they serve monthly.
Madson adds that Feed My People received a large amount of venison donated by hunters during the recent hunt and currently has ample hams to distribute this week. If you would like to donate to Feed & Clothe My People of Door County, you can do so on Mondays and Thursdays from 1:00 until 5:00 p.m. and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
