The Food Pantry
The food pantries in the area provide food and groceries for households and homeless citizens to take home. The Falls Food Pantry is set up like a grocery store with shelves of food. The client can select a specific number of items from each food group; the larger the family, the more items from each food group are allowed. Volunteers are needed to supply the food, stock the food, help clients select the food.
Versiti/Blood Center of Wisconsin
Blood is the essence of life and to give selflessly can make you feel more connected to your community and to the world around you. It’s a fulfilling, powerful and enriching experience to know that your donation could save lives. Unfortunately, fewer than 5% of people who are eligible to donate actually do. Imagine the lives that could be touched by your gift. It’s a quick, simple and amazing way to give back to the community.
