A HUGE Thank You to Supporters of Antigo Food Pantry Fundraiser

Posted

SUBMITTED BY: Sarah Bostwick, Office Manager, Antigo Community Food Pantry

Our first Purses for the Pantry Designer Purse Bingo & Food Drive event was a HUGE success! Not only did the event raise money for the Antigo Community Food Pantry, 966lbs of food was donated as well. Thank you to everyone who came out to have a fun night of bingo supporting the Antigo Community Food Pantry. 

Big thank you to all the sponsors, we wouldn't be able to serve our community if it wasn't for our gracious donors like you, we're so grateful for your support.

The Antigo Community Food Pantry operates solely on donations of food, money and grants. It’s through fundraisers like this and local food drives that we succeed in our mission to feed those with food insecurity in our community.

In 2023 we served 620 households, 1508 individuals, 296 seniors and 468 kids. In 2024 January 1st thru October 25th we served 606 households, 1421 individuals, 291 seniors, and 409 kids. We still have 2 of the hardest months for families left in the year. Everything raised at the Purses for the Pantry Designer Purse Bingo and Food Drive will go towards making sure these people have supplemental food for their homes.

Save the date for next year, October 24th, 2025, at NorthStar Lanes. Tickets will go on sale at the Antigo Community Food Pantry in August 2025. Visit our website for updates, www.antigofoodpantry.com
