​The Problem

Feeding America projected in 2021, that 42 million people, including

13 million children, would experience food insecurity. That is 1 in 8, and 1 in 6 children. Food insecurity affects people everywhere, including right here in Oshkosh. We have tons of great resources, but very few options on the west side of town.

​

​Partnering With the Community 

There are many wonderful food help resources in Oshkosh but almost none on the west side of town. Coming to this realization led to the founding of Little Free Pantry - West Oshkosh.

​

The Little Free Pantry encourages you to "take what you need, give what you can", and creates a crowdsourced food option for anyone to utilize if they have need. This little box is located at Calvary Lutheran Church on 9th Ave (between Westhaven and Oakwood) and is open 24/7 for anyone to stop by at anytime.

​

It creates a bridge for those in our community to anonymously partner with others - for neighbors to serve neighbors.
