Become a Partner Agency

Thank you for your interest in partnering with Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin in the fight to end hunger in southwestern Wisconsin. The Foodbank provides thousands of low-income people with hot meals and groceries through 300 dedicated partner agencies. In addition, our FoodShare (formerly known as food stamps) Outreach Program assists potentially eligible people throughout 16 counties apply for benefits that help them put food on their table every month.

We welcome inquiries from any non-profit organization in our service area that provides free food to people in need including:

• Emergency Food Providers, such as a food pantry, soup kitchen, or emergency shelter, and
• Non-Emergency food assistance programs, such as an adult or child daycare, long term transitional shelter, or an after school youth program.

Due to a strategic decision to focus on building the capacity of our current member agencies, we are not accepting new applications for supportive living and residential programs.
