In the past years, Wonder Lake Neighbors Food Pantry has sought to create partnerships throughout Wonder Lake, emphasizing the mutual goal of building up the community and reaching out to those in need. God gives us every good gift. Sharing with partners in church congregations, civic organizations, businesses, and volunteers solidifies our goal to help share those gifts with one another.

Fundraiser Flyer

Laundry Detergent Drive

With Back to School approaching, we’d like to have a laundry detergent drive!  Many clients who seek food assistance, cannot afford extras such as laundry detergent, bleach, fabric softener and dryer sheets.  If you are able would you please consider donating laundry supplies to us.  We will be doing the drive for the remainder of the year!  If you have any questions please contact us!!

Calling All Gardeners

It’s about that time to begin planning and planting your vegetable gardens! Please consider adding an addition row of veggies for those in need. We would love to accept your donations of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. If you are willing to do this and would like to coordinate drop off of the produce, please contact us! Thank you for helping the hungry eat fresh and nutritious foods!

Because of Your Generosity…

Thank you for your continued support of this crucial ministry!

Many families will continue to seek food assistance with us as they had additional expenses in August for school registrations and school supplies!
