WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – The Women’s Community is seeking donations as the number of customers they serve grows.
Their shelter is currently full, and with so many mouths to feed, they are searching for supplies such as cooking oil, sugar, spaghetti noodles, canned soup, and more.
“We’ll take any food of course, we do tend to get a lot of perishable items which go fast, so like lunch meat, cheese, and eggs,” volunteer program assistant Allie Acridge told WAOW.
While this may seem like a small gesture to some, it can make a significant difference in the lives of others.
“I think when they have the opportunity to come in and kind of personally shop, let’s say, and pick out items they need at their home for their families themselves, it gives them a self of empowerment,” pantry donation volunteer Jill Eckert said.
The Community has a list of items that are needed and for more information on how to donate their website can be found here.
