Starting on Monday, Madison East High School will be the home of a new food pantry. The first of its kind in Madison. A group of volunteers came together and believed that a high school was the perfect place for a food pantry. The pantry will provide nutritional support to students and their families in need.
However, the volunteers needed help in keeping the food pantry stocked. This is where assistance from UW Hospital was critical. “The UW Hospital at the American Center,graciously offered to keep our pantry stocked through the end of the school year,” stated Joel Wish, one of the pantry’s volunteer coordinators.
