We rely solely on donations and the time and talents of volunteers from our community to run Falls Area Food Pantry.  Consider getting involved… 

1. DONATE FOOD

Donate food in bins at many local organizations or participate in a special food drive.  Also, drop off non-perishable food at Falls Food Pantry 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Simply leave your donation inside our unlocked foyer. Falls Area Food Pantry cannot distribute food received in compromised packages (dented cans, crushed boxes, damaged bottles or lids, etc.) or expired food. A good rule of thumb: If you’d serve it, we want it! 

2. DONATE MONEY

Make donations in collection jars around town, make a donation online via PayPal, or make out a tax-deductible check payable to Falls Area Food Pantry and mail it to:

3. HOST A FOOD DRIVE

Hosting a food drive is a hands-on way for your school, office, group or place of worship to join the fight against hunger.  Drives can be held year-round and are an important resource for Falls Area Food Pantry.  Hosting a drive is easy, and we will help you through the process. Please look at our Food Drive Tool Kit to receive tips for planning a successful drive and register your event by filling out our Food Drive Registration Form.  This information is also available off our Food Drive page.

4. VOLUNTEER AT THE PANTRY

Falls Area Food Pantry is run exclusively by volunteers. We always need volunteers from our community to help with the many pantry activities. Volunteers register and check in clients, help clients select food, and sort food and stock the shelves.  They also assist with food drives and special events.  To volunteer, contact your church if it is one of the 13 Partnering Churches.  If not, call us at (262)251-6848 or send us an e-mail and we will add you to the Community Volunteer List.  To learn more about volunteering at the pantry, please read our Volunteer Training Handbook.  It contains important information about volunteering and gives specific information for Client Assistants & Sorters/Stockers.  A special thanks to our many volunteers!    

New Starting in 2020:  Falls Area Food Pantry requires that volunteers complete a Volunteer Registration Form prior to the first time they volunteer at the pantry during the year.  Copies of the Volunteer Registration form are available at the pantry and can be completed and returned right before you volunteer.  An electronic copy of the form is also available online.  Volunteers can complete the fillable PDF Volunteer Registration Form and print it and deliver it to the Pantry at N85 W15382 Menomonee River Pkwy, Menomonee Falls, WI 53051 or mail it to the Pantry at P.O. Box 238, Menomonee Falls, WI 53052.  If they prefer, volunteers can save and send their form to the Pantry at info@fallsfoodpantry.org.  Volunteers under 18 must have their parent/guardian sign their registration form.  All volunteers will also read and sign the TEFAP Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement once a year.  By signing it, volunteers agree that they will keep confidential individual and household information that they may obtain either directly or indirectly while volunteering at the pantry.  The agreement is found at the end of the Volunteer Training Handbook.
