Compassion In Action

Feed My People recently purchased a facility three times the capacity of its previous location. The new distribution center creates opportunities to provide more food, and more nutritious food, to more people who are in need.

View photos and a location map of the new building.

Our capital campaign goal is $1,350,000.
We are almost 95% there!

Distribution DemandObjectives:

The larger building triples our capacity and provides sufficient storage space so we can...

  • Double the pounds of food per person in poverty from 32 to 60 (the national median)

  • Store and distribute of a greater variety and volume of food from local farmers, manufacturers, and distributors as well as the food bank distribution center in Minneapolis

  • Distribute 30% more fruits, vegetables, and dairy products within three years

  • Provide dedicated volunteer work space to improve overall operational efficiencies

  • Reach 1,000 children through Weekend Kid’s Meal program within five years

  • Reduce energy usage by 25% per cubic foot of refridgerated and freezer spaces

Improvements

Feed My People's efficiency and ability to provide food to the community is increased at its new location. The facility has triple the capacity of the old building as well as features that help Feed My People meet the needs of those who struggle with hunger in west central Wisconsin.

Testimonial

--------------------------------------

“As one who has been delivering food on behalf of Feed My People for nearly three years, I have been impressed with the increasing growth rate of orders and volume of food delivered. Our trucks are almost filled to capacity on each run. The lines of people waiting to pick up food grow.

The present building is filled to the brim with goods so that at times it is difficult to maneuver the pallet movers. Furthermore, the freezer space is inadequate for the huge volume of frozen goods which come to Feed My People for distribution. I am amazed at how well Feed My People has done handling the growth.”
