Other Food Programs
Mobile Food Pantry
In order to make sure we are reaching all people in need in our community, MOM operates a Mobile Food Pantry, serving two low-income apartment complexes.
Guests at these complexes have a hard time reaching our Food Pantry due to transportation and mobility issues, and greatly look forward to their visit from the MOM truck!
Food Pantry Garden
MOM operates three Food Pantry Gardens, one of which is a teaching garden, which gives clients their own small plot, where they are being taught how to grow food, side by side with volunteer mentors.
The other two gardens are used to provide fresh produce for the Food Pantry and are managed by volunteers.
SCHOOL Partnerships
MOM partners with the Social Workers at several Middleton Cross Plains Area School District schools to provide extra food to give to children who express hunger while at school.
Donate Food
MOM distributes nearly 1.4 million pounds of food every year to people in our community. MOM's Food Pantry allows individuals and families to self select food and personal hygiene items and to come as often as they need. You can help make sure people in our community are food secure.
Monthly Giving Program: Circle of Hope
Becoming a monthly supporter is an easy way to make a powerful and long-lasting impact in our community. Your recurring contributions add up over time, and help provide weeks, months and years of important assistance and resources to those in need.
