Every dollar you give helps us provide fresh, healthy food to local food pantries, shelters, and meal programs to nourish families and strengthen communities. We work across Eastern Wisconsin to ensure everyone has a place at the table and enough to eat.
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin Inc centers food access across a 35-county service area, with grantmaking built around pantry supply, food rescue, and food-as-healthcare partnerships. Its recent awards show a networked approach: the largest grant in the list went to Feed My People Food Bank for $280,391, while other large awards supported regional pantry and distribution partners such as Oshkosh Area Community Pantry and Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The organization also connects food work with health systems through NourishRx, which is designed around nutritious, culturally relevant food, nutrition education, and integrated food-health support for people managing chronic illness. That combination of emergency food distribution and health-focused food access is distinctive in the data. Recent recipients include community pantries, food banks, shelters, and ministries, along with partners serving specific communities and local agriculture-linked food recovery. The pattern points to a funder that supports both the supply side of food distribution and the operating capacity needed to move food through a local network.
Hunger relief is the clearest thread in the grant list. Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin Inc gave $214,649 to Oshkosh Area Community Pantry for food, $140,179 to Care & Share Food Pantry of Marquette County for food, and $113,628 to Kenosha County Fb for food. Capacity building appears alongside direct distribution through support for partner organizations such as Ebenezer Stone Ministries and Friedens Community Ministries Inc. The foundation also funds food access tied to health. Through NourishRx, it works with community-based organizations and health systems on nutritious, culturally specific groceries, mobile distributions, food lockers, and nutrition education. Local food recovery and community food programs are also present in the recent grants list, including Riverview Gardens Total in Appleton and Sheboygan County Food Bank in Sheboygan Falls.
Typical grant size sits at $7,898 at the 25th percentile, $14,857 at the median, and $39,798 at the 75th percentile, so the portfolio includes many mid-sized operating awards alongside larger distribution grants. The recent list also shows repeat recipients across years, including Oshkosh Area Community Pantry and Ebenezer Stone Ministries, which points to ongoing support rather than one-off giving. Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin Inc is an operating nonprofit foundation rather than a family foundation or donor-advised fund, and it does not make program-related investments. One program, NourishRx Partnership, accepts unsolicited requests; the Pantry Partner Network also accepts unsolicited interest from eligible nonprofit partners.
