For over 35 years, the Marshfield Food Pantry has been providing nutritious food for Marshfield families in need.
In 2020 alone the Food Pantry served 646 families consisting of:
2825 family visits 1700 residents received assistance
355 children
263 seniors Monthly, our families receive food and personal care items. The amount of food a family receives is dependent upon the number of people in the family. The food a family receives from the Food Pantry is only meant to supplement the family's food. A family receives food for approximately 5 days of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The only requirements for a family to receive assistance are proof of Marshfield residency and a photo ID.
Confidentiality of families using the Pantry is very important to our volunteers.
Deliveries are made to homebound, elderly and handicapped residents.
School nurses are provided with snacks and juices for hungry students.
Spouses and families of deployed servicemen and women are encouraged to use the Pantry.
In November of 2020, 320 families received all the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
Nothing at the Food Pantry goes to waste. Leftover breads and produce are donated to a local farm.
