❤️ Supporting Our Community

Why are we doing an event to support Lakeshore CAP Door County Food Pantry-Sturgeon Bay?

Lakeshore CAP Door County Food Pantry is a non-sectarian, not-for-profit program that provides on-going and emergency healthy food assistance to low and limited income households. The pantry, located at 131 S Third Ave in Sturgeon Bay, is open between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM every Tuesday and Thursday. Food may be picked up once a month — or more often in emergency situations.

• Belief in Community: We believe everyone wants the best for themselves and for their families.
• Compassion: We believe the community wants compassionate assistance for the less fortunate.
• Community Benefits: We believe assistance for individuals and families in need can yield benefits for the community by establishing and promoting a caring environment where everyone is assured of support.

🥫 Current Needs

Current needs: Soups, tuna, Mac ‘n Cheese, Rice Roni, Hamburger Helper, Pasta (any kind), crackers and cereal. Monetary donations are also welcome to purchase items when counts run low on any particular item.

📊 Program Support Statistics

In 2024, the pantry had a 24% increase in pantry participation, serving 6,149 people, including 1,819 children and 1,331 seniors.

⚠️ Upcoming Challenges

On January 28, 2025, the Lakeshore CAP Door County Food Pantry was notified of reduced allocations from The Emergency Food Assistance Program via USDA deliveries, expected to decrease by 50% in April or May. This reduction will significantly impact our ability to serve low-income families during high food prices.
