Overview

Mission

The mission of Feed and Clothe My People of Door County, which is a not-for-profit organization, is to serve needy individuals who reside in Door County, WI by providing them with food and/or clothing at little or no cost depending upon their ability to pay and/or need.

What it reported doing in 2024

The FEED AND CLOTHE MY PEOPLE OF DOOR COUNTY FOOD PANTRY was created with the intention of providing food to our clients on an emergency and/or an on-going basis. Clients are referred to the organization from other agencies, local churches, or our outreach programs, and in some instances people come in to request assistance on their own. Individualized "pantries" are put together and issued to clients on an on-going basis along with information about other programs and agencies they may benefit from. A typical "pantry" consists of 68 staple items and 4 bulk items. In 2024, 225 "pantries" were created, and 325 adults and 125 children benefited from that program. In addition to seeing that "pantries" are created for needy individuals on a year-round basis, staff members and volunteers also make a concerted effort to see that the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are a little nicer for some of our clients by surprising them with gift baskets that contain "all the fixings" for holiday meals as well as gift certificates and/or gift cards. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas in 2024, staff members saw that 73 of our clients who may not have been able to afford to make holiday meals or purchase any gifts received the baskets, and all of those individuals were very grateful for the generosity of our donors.
