West CAP provides food to low-income individuals and families in need through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).  Food is distributed from our Food Access and Resources Center, located at 823 Main Street, Boyceville.

Are you looking for FoodShare/SNAP Benefits? We do not process those applications. The State of Wisconsin does.
We suggest you follow this external link to find out if you’re eligible based on your income. Then visit the ACCESS website to learn about and apply for Wisconsin state benefits like FoodShare as well as BadgerCare, Medicare, Medicaid.  Choose “Apply for Benefits” on their website. You can see what health, nutrition, and other benefits or programs you may be able to get based on the information you provide. This Guide for Applying for WI Benefits can help.

Who is eligible for West CAP’s Food Pantry?

This pantry serves the residents of the Boyceville and Glenwood City Area School Districts, including areas in Connorsville, Wheeler, Wilson, Hersey, Downing, and Emerald. You are eligible to obtain groceries once per month if your gross household income does not exceed 200% of the poverty level. Check the eligibility income guidelines for more information.

How does it work?

Recipients of the pantry can stop by during distribution hours, which are Thursdays from 1pm-7pm.  Eligible patrons come inside and shop for food items, much like a regular grocery store.  Foods available include an assortment of canned goods, cereals, meat, frozen foods, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of personal care items.

The amount of food available is intended to meet you/your family’s nutritional needs for a period of 3-5 days.  We have volunteers to help answer questions and describe the items available to you.

How to apply?

If you’re a first-time patron, you can come to the pantry during our distribution hours on Thursdays to apply.  After applying, you will be assigned a family ID number and may visit the pantry once a month, with an additional emergency visit if needed.
