Clients must provide identification for all household members along with proof of residency in Marathon County. The amount of food distributed is based on the size of the household. Each household may visit the Food Pantry once every 21 days.

Please bring the following with you:

• Photo ID for all adults, or Social Security cards for household members (required for adults without ID and for children)

Our food pantry is unique because clients are able to shop for themselves, selecting items from each food group. This allows individuals and families to choose the foods that best meet their needs.

The pantry is supplied through generous donations from food drives, local businesses, and community members.
