NEKOOSA, Wis. (WSAW) — A newly founded food pantry in the Nekoosa School District has seen significant community support.
The pantry serves children and families in the community. It offers free monthly food packages for families. According to a news release, these packages include resource guides, recipes, and a list of upcoming events in the Nekoosa and surrounding areas to keep families engaged in their communities.

This effort is supported by the Wisconsin Partnership Program grant awarded to Marshfield Clinic Center for Community Health Advancement. The WPP grant is dedicated to improving food security for children and families in rural northern Wisconsin. The grant supports the Feeding the Whole Child, Whole Family, and Whole Community through Civic Engagement initiative.
