How People Are Helped
The Food Access and Resources program provides staff support and food distribution assistance to 27 community-based food pantries, 4 shelters and 1 soup kitchen in west central Wisconsin. Each of these outlets provides direct, emergency food assistance to low-income families in their area.
In addition to providing support and coordination to various local outlets, West CAP operates a local food pantry directly from our Food Access and Resources Center located at 823 Main Street, Boyceville. The pantry is open every Thursday from 3:00-7:00pm, and Friday from 9:00am-1:00pm. This pantry serves the residents of the Boyceville and Glenwood City Area School Districts, including areas in Connorsville, Wheeler, Wilson, Hersey, Downing, and Emerald. Recipients of the pantry can receive an assortment of canned goods, cereals, meat, frozen foods, fruit and vegetables, as well an assortment of personal care items. The food package is designed to meet the family’s nutritional needs for a period of 3-5 days. The West CAP Pantry also partners with area churches, schools, businesses and community members to raise funds for the Pantry, and to provide holiday gift certificates.
