Door County Food Pantry
Residents in need of emergency and/or supplemental food are welcome to apply!
Lakeshore CAP’s Door County Food Pantry is a non-sectarian, not-for-profit program that provides on-going and emergency healthy food assistance to low and limited income residents.
The pantry, located at 131 S Third Ave in Sturgeon Bay, is open between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM every Tuesday and Thursday. Food may be picked up once a month — or more often in emergency situations. Proof of Door County residency is required in the form of a recent utility bill or rent receipt which includes the applicant’s name and current address. A Wisconsin ID is required each time you pick up food. (Additional requirements apply.)
Wisconsin households are eligible to receive commodities at participating food pantries if the total gross income for the household does not exceed 300% of the federal poverty level. Eligibility is based on self-declared income. There are no income eligibility criteria for persons who voluntarily seek meals at soup kitchens or homeless shelters.The 2021 maximum monthly income is:
