Yasmin has been visiting the WestCare pantry in Milwaukee once or twice every month while she looks for work. But a job that pays enough can be difficult to find with rising prices for groceries and four young kids at home who need care.

And Yasmin knows what it is to go without, having found herself in the difficult position of choosing between paying bills and buying groceries in the past. Without pantries like WestCare, Yasmin says she’d likely have to ask family for help … or find herself choosing between food and bills again.

It’s only because of donors like you that we can help neighbors like Yasmin when they need it. Because she can receive that help, Yasmin can make sure she and her children have enough to eat. And for that, she says, “Thank you very much. It’s really very, very appreciated.”

Your generous gifts give neighbors a helping hand when it’s needed most. Thank you for helping us feed families in Eastern Wisconsin!
