The Salvation Army Food Pantry in Oak Creek provides essential food assistance to individuals and families in need. Each year, we serve an average of 2,500 people, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry.

Our food pantry is supported through local food drives, generous donations, and our primary partner, the Hunger Task Force. As a free and local food bank, Hunger Task Force supplies pantries and meal programs across the region, guided by the belief that every person has the right to access nutritious food with dignity. Together, we work to prevent hunger today and build a hunger-free tomorrow.
