More About Sheboygan County Food Bank
For over 40 years, Sheboygan County Food Bank has existed because of the kindness and determined efforts of volunteers. Liz Kroll began operating the Food Bank from her home, counting on the community to open their hearts, kitchen freezer spaces, and warehouse cooler doors.
“What a crazy ride this has been,” says Liz, “I’m grateful to all of those who helped make the food bank what it is today. So many volunteers, so many ideas, so many people who saw the vision and continually helped where help was needed.”
Through the years, the mission to lead Sheboygan County’s efforts to increase the food security of its residents, by distributing healthy emergency food and fostering innovative partnerships, has not changed. The Sheboygan County Food Bank now distributes food through its core programs, Food for Thought for Kids, the Herb Kohler and Natalie Black Community Cafe, Food+ for Neighbors, and Sheboygan Cares Food Pantry, as well as in partnership with food pantries and other organizations in Sheboygan County, to make sure nutritious food reaches thousands of families, seniors, and children.
