Farm to Foodbank Initiative

Nutrition security and food equity in our community is our primary goal at Second Harvest. Through our Farm to Foodbank Initiative, we are able to provide nutritious food to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity while strengthening our local farming community. It is a win-win to meet the need in our area and support our local economy. Our network of partner food pantries spans 16 counties, many of which are rural. This means we have ample access to fresh produce, eggs, and dairy that is grown and produced right here in southwestern Wisconsin. Local food should not be for the privileged few. You can help us build a stronger local economy while cultivating equitable nutrition access for our community.

Support for Farm to Foodbank Initiative is provided by generous partners including Alliant Energy Foundation
