Your generosity helps more than fill a plate. At People’s Table, donations help families overcome challenges, connect with neighbors, and build a stronger future together.
When you donate to our food pantry and food bank programs, you provide free food and vital resources to nearly 20,000 people each year. But your support goes further. Our model prioritizes long-term stability, fostering connected neighborhoods where families can thrive.
We do not accept clothing or household goods due to storage limitations. Please bring these items to St. Vincent De Paul, 2320 W Lincoln Ave, Milwaukee, which can distribute them to families in need.
Every gift you give helps more than one person. It creates hope, connection, and a stronger Milwaukee where neighbors look out for one another. Together, we can build a community where no one faces hardship alone.
Why People Give to People’s Table
Our supporters believe in our unique, group-based model because it goes beyond emergency meals. When individuals are supported, they begin to support others, creating a self-sustaining network of care.
Dr. Greg Von Roenn, longtime donor and board member, shares:
“I support People’s Table because it is not just about food. It is about building hope and empowering neighbors to create the kind of community we all want to live in.”
Rosendo “Rafael,” a co-op member, shares:
“Your donations are helping my family survive during our rough patch. After inheriting my father’s home, we were left with back taxes on the house. With the co-op’s help, I can feed my family, keep the bills paid, and hold onto the home I want to pass down to my kids. This support is helping us through a time we could not manage alone.”
