UPDATE: The City of West Allis urgently calls on residents to support local food pantries through a year-end donation drive running until December 31. This initiative is critical as families face rising grocery costs amid ongoing economic challenges.
Officials have announced that the community can contribute non-perishable food items and monetary donations to alleviate food insecurity. The drive aims to provide essential support to the most vulnerable populations in West Allis. In a recent social media post, the City emphasized, “
This drive is a chance to come together and provide real, tangible support to our neighbors who need it most.
”
Residents are encouraged to donate staple food items such as beans, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, and peanut butter. These contributions ensure that individuals and families can access balanced nutrition during this challenging time. Donations can be dropped off at several designated locations, including City Hall, the West Allis Police Department, and the West Allis Farmers Market. For convenience, additional drop-off sites may be added, and residents are urged to stay updated via the city’s social media channels.
For those who prefer to make monetary contributions, the Community Impact Partnership & Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is managing the financial aspect of the drive. Contributions are tax-deductible and can be made by check or securely online. Checks should be made out to the Foundation and sent to City Hall, while online donations can be made through a provided link.
Every item donated helps fill a pantry, ease a burden, and strengthens community solidarity. The City of West Allis is reminding residents that even small acts of kindness can significantly impact those in need.
As the deadline approaches, community members are encouraged to join this urgent effort and ensure that no one has to face hardships alone. Together, West Allis can make a difference by supporting their neighbors in need.
