How We Help

Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin is a nonprofit organization committed to ending hunger in 16 southwestern Wisconsin counties through community partnerships.


By focusing on a multipronged approach that includes food distribution, increasing participation in public and private food programs, and mobilizing the public, we serve nearly 141,000 people who struggle with hunger each year; 43% of whom are children.


From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 Second Harvest Foodbank, together with our more than 225 partner agencies and programs, provided nearly 11.5 million meals to those facing hunger.
