Beaver Dam Community Food Pantry

Mission: To offer low income families and individuals a healthy variety of food.

The Beaver Dam Food Pantry is part of a network of 15 food pantries in Dodge and surrounding counties, working in partnership with the Central Wisconsin Community Action Council (CWCAC). As a contracted Emergency Feeding Organization (EFO), we provide nutritionally balanced food packages to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Our goal is to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry by offering reliable food assistance to those in need.

The Beaver Dam Food Pantry distributes USDA food and other resources to eligible households, helping them access 5-7 days’ worth of nutritious food. We operate under income guidelines that allow families earning up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level to receive assistance. Our services are funded by community donations, grants, and programs such as TEFAP, FEMA, and United Way funds.

We also collaborate with local food banks to purchase food at a reduced cost, ensuring we can serve as many people as possible.
