“Waukesha County’s non-profit community is a huge part of what makes our county so great. Like all counties, we have a great number of people and families in need. It is the willingness of so many people to donate their time and money to area non-profits that truly makes a difference. Supporting the ‘Waukesha County Provides’ program is a wonderful way to get the word out about the challenges facing our citizens and to help those who need it most.”

The FOOD Pantry of Waukesha County is responding to changing needs for help after a statewide change in requirements to receive SNAP benefits. The FOOD Pantry of Waukesha County is one of four area nonprofits to participate in Waukesha County Provides, a community wide giving campaign designed to generate awareness of growing community needs.

Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow recently met with the executive directors of the agencies involved with Waukesha County Provides. He offered his support and discussed how he could be involved.

The logo represents the connected nature of services provided by each agency and how they work in partnership with the wider community to strengthen Waukesha County. The four agencies are using the logo to enhance awareness of the need for
their services while stimulating funding for each.

In an effort to make up the fundraising deficit left when The Greater Milwaukee Foundation dicontinued its successful Match Day, four Waukesha County nonprofits joined forces to create a new fundraising initiative. The four agencies — Food Pantry of Waukesha County, Hebron House, Hope Center and The Women’s Center — have created a new program called “Waukesha County
Provides.”
