Overview

Mission

Edgerton Community Outreach provides emergency services for people in need including food, clothing, shelter, essential services, crisis intervention, referral services, advocacy services and other social services.

What it reported doing in 2024

The food pantry provides a nutritious 2 week supply of canned goods and fresh/frozen food items to supplement a household's food budget. Requests for assistance increased throughout 2024. For the first half of 2024 approximately 75 households visited the pantry. That number grew to 80 households towards the end of 2024. Annually the pantry serves nearly 500 individuals. The food program provides two community meals each year, one on Thanksgiving and one on Christmas Eve. 500 meals are served at each meal. Both meals are open to all in the community and are also free to all that attend. Additionally, the program provided 3,636 meals for 82 children (4 meals per week) during the summer through the Summer Lunch in the Park Feeding Program, 1,180 meals for 26 students each weekend throughout the school year, and more than 600 meals each week through the Snack Pack Breakfast program at Edgerton's schools.
