Grace Food Pantry

The Grace Church Food Pantry has been a welcoming place for the hungry on the Capitol Square for over 45 years. Although housed at Grace Church, the pantry has its own budget and relies on federal and state funding and donations from community members to fill the shelves with food week after week.

Our Pantry Coordinator manages dedicated volunteers who make sure the over 300 families each month have access to:

Get Involved!

Volunteering

  • Individual volunteers & groups of volunteers are ALWAYS WELCOME in the Grace Pantry for one-time efforts or regular shifts!

  • Please email for the latest volunteer opportunities.

Donations

Monetary and food donations are ALWAYS WELCOME!

Long-term relationships with government agencies allow us to maximize the purchasing power of each donated dollar used for obtaining food. As the quality and variety of donated foods fluctuate each year, monetary gifts provide us with the flexibility to provide the optimal nutritional mix of foods.

If you'd rather donate a tangible good, consider these most-requested pantry items:

  • canned tuna or chicken

  • toothpaste

  • shampoo

  • deodorant

  • diapers of all sizes

  • baby wipes

    We CANNOT accept clothing donations

    Donations can be sent to:  
    Grace Food Pantry
    116 West Washington Ave.
    Madison, WI  53703

Donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
