Fighting Poverty.  ending hunger.  locally.

BPNN operates one of the busiest food pantries in Dane County, Wisconsin.  More than a food pantry, we also offer free community meals, nutrition education for seniors and children, hands-on cooking classes in our Prairie Kitchen, a community garden, and legal advocacy to fight homelessness and level the playing field for people with limited financial resources.  BPNN is a founding member of the Kitchen to Table: Wisconsin Food Recovery Network with a mission to reduce food waste by repackaging and distributing surplus prepared food donated by commercial food services organizations.  

We are 100% volunteer - all funds raised go toward our mission and keeping the lights on. ​ Learn more about us in our annual report.

Update: May 1
community meals Suspended through 2020

In an abundance of caution, BPNN's free community meals are cancelled through 2020.  We take this step to protect the health of the many senior citizens who attend the meal. With our limited space, it is not possible to implement a social distancing plan and our guests are particularly vulnerable to this virus. 

​We hope to add a larger community room to the facility in 2021 that will allow us to safely assemble in larger groups.  If you'd like to contribute to our capital campaign, use the donation link on this page and add a note: building funds.
