Food Shortage at Local Food Pantries

We, the members of the Mequon Thiensville Sunrise Rotary are collecting food to donate to an area food pantry. We will collect during the meetings on November 21 and December 5 and we chose to donate to St. Martin de Poores food pantry.

St. Martin de Porres located on 3114 n 2nd Street (2nd and Burleigh provides a food pantry for those who reside within the boundaries of Capital Drive; 20th Street; North Avenue and the lake. Although some of the food is donated through the Hunger Task Force another strong source is donations from various citizens through their clubs and churches.

This year for the first time ever, the food pantry at St. Martin de Porres was out of food. Their shelves were empty and they had to turn people down.

We are inviting the members of the Satellite section, North Shore, and Thiensville-Mequon Rotary clubs to join us and collect food to be delivered to the pantry of their choice.

Most needed food: Cereal • Tuna • Macaroni and Cheese • Soup • Milk (power or can)
