WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Who can shop at BPNN? Our food pantry serves anyone residing in Dane County who requires food assistance. How often can I visit? You may visit the food pantry twice each month. Your 2nd visit may be any time during the month. Can I bring my children? There is no childcare at BPNN. Please leave your children safely at home or plan to have them shop in the store with you. Can I send someone to shop for me? If your household is unwell or you cannot make it to the pantry, send someone else with your ID or a photocopy of your ID. You should send a signed note with your alternative shopper and ask them to arrive at least 45 minutes before our closing time. What does the food pantry offer? We carry a wide variety of healthy fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and proteins including milk, eggs, and frozen meat. With the help of Second Harvest, the Community Action Coalition, community food drives, and cash donations we are also able to offer packaged goods including baking supplies, cereal, pasta, canned tuna, fruits, vegetables, and soups. Our Kitchen to Table food recovery program provides the pantry with items donated from area grocers and ready-to-eat food from local companies with cafeteria services. Where are you located? We are located at 1200 E Verona Avenue in Verona, WI. Need additional help? A Dane County Joining Forces for Families (JFF) social worker is available to help connect individuals with other assistance programs. Please call us if you are interested in contacting a representative from JFF. Inclement Weather: Read our closing policy in the event of severe weather here. Questions? Call us at 608-848-2499.

Join us for a delicious free lunch every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. The meal usually includes soup and salad, pasta or rice, a chicken, pork or beef dish, a vegetarian/vegan selection, bread, a dessert and drink. The purpose of the meal is to create a more cohesive and resilient community, and to build support for BPNN's mission to end hunger and poverty on a local level. We chose Saturdays for the meal to fill the gap when school lunches and senior programs are not available. EVERYONE is welcome and no reservation is required - just show up. Bring your own container if you'd like to take any leftovers home (starts at 12:30 depending on availability). Lunch is served from 11:30 am - 12:45 pm in our new Kasieta Center community space. 2022 DATES September 17, October 1, October 15, November 5, November 19, December 3, December 17 |
