During the COVID-19 crisis, both our Food Security and Housing Stability programs are still operational. Mail is collected daily, and we are still processing donations that come by mail and those that are made online once per week, despite the closure of our office to the public.
Updated information on MOM's services as well as how you can help can be found on our special updates page.
Our Food Box Distribution schedule:
Tuesdays - 12pm - 1:30pm
Thursdays - 12pm - 1:30pm
Saturdays - 10am - Noon
We are committed to serving our West Madison, Middleton and Cross Plains community members, as well as anyone else in need of emergency food during this time. As there is ample supply of food available, people may pick up food as often as needed. No pre-registration is needed.
If you are looking for program assistance, please email clients@momhelps.org and someone will respond. If you are looking for other types of assistance, please call 608-836-7338 and leave a message, and someone will respond.
MOM brings our community together to create food and housing security through action and advocacy, for neighbors in West Madison, Middleton and Cross Plains. MOM hosts one of the largest food pantries in Dane County. Nearly half of those served through MOM are children.

Back to School Program
We want to ensure that children from low-income families in our area receive the tools they need to succeed in school. This includes backpacks stuffed with grade level supplies for children in Pre-K through high school and supplies for college students.
We stand united against any form of racism.
We condemn the recent unjust killing of George Floyd and the unacceptable long list of Black people who were killed before him. The murder of George Floyd highlights the urgency and necessity of the work we've started in line with our values of social justice and racial equity.
MOM Signs On to a Declaration: Racism is a Public Health Crisis
In May 2018, the Wisconsin Public Health Association (WPHA) passed a resolution declaring that racism is a public health crisis in Wisconsin and committed to taking action. MOM is one of the organizations that has signed on to support this declaration.
Understanding Food Justice
The crux of food justice is the right to community control over and access to affordable, fresh, culturally relevant foods that people want to eat – especially for low-income and communities of color with the least access. Across all of our work, we challenge ourselves to use an anti-oppression lens to build more equitable systems and healthier communities.
Creating Stability for 40 Years
At MOM, we have always believed in the power of community coming together to make a difference for our neighbors. In fact, that’s how we got started forty years ago this month.
Donate Food and Clothing - COVID-19
During COVID-19, MOM has had to make significant changes to our Food and Clothing donation systems to make sure that those we serve remain safe. Thank you for assisting us with these efforts!
