About the Somerset Community Food Pantry
Our Mission: To provide food with respect and dignity in times of need.
The Somerset Community Food Pantry serves those in need who are located in the Somerset School District boundaries. Items available at the pantry include non-perishable food such as soups, canned fruit & vegetables, jelly, peanut butter, juice, dry cereal and more.
The Food Pantry is open -
It is with an abundance of caution that the SCFP announces that we are changing our service methods to carry out. If you need us we are only a phone call away! Please call us 715-247-2945 and during our business hours (Thursdays 4-6 and Saturdays 9-12) one of our team members will walk you through the items we have available, package your order and deliver it to your car when you arrive. These actions are intended to maintain social distancing for all of us and provide a service experience as close to normal.
We are here for our community!
**If you are unable to come in during the above listed hours, please call us at 715-247-2945. We will attempt to accommodate your request.**

Dear Community Partners,
The Somerset Community Food Pantry (“SCFP”) is building a new pantry!
We need your support to reach our final goal. We would like to update you on our progress to date and share data on the services/food we provide to our local community. We also want to say thank you to all who have contributed to this project.
Our Goal and Progress:
-
The Capital Campaign fundraising goal is $400,000.
-
We raised over $380,000 of this goal of which a majority has come from grants, many outside our community.
-
We are asking our local businesses and community members to help us continue to reach this goal.
Who do we support in our community as we achieve our mission “to provide food with dignity in times of need”?
-
We have distributed over 36,800 lbs. of food since Jan 1, 2021, in our community.
-
SCFP supports our neighbors who are in need; elderly, veterans, and families with children who, in most cases are fully employed in one or two jobs but struggle to make ends meet. Many have lost their jobs because of COVID-19. No one should go hungry, and this building will help us serve those in need today and into the future!
Are you willing to help? Our very existence depends on people like you.
