A big thank-you to SSM Health for a $20,000 gift supporting our Food for Thought program!

This generous support helps provide nutritious weekend food bags and school-day snacks to approximately 1,100 children each week in the Fond du Lac, Eden, Campbellsport, and Ripon school districts.

Now in its 15th year, Food for Thought helps fill the gap when school meals aren’t available giving children the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

We’re grateful to SSM Health for investing in the health of local children and helping us fight childhood hunger. Together, we’re making a difference, one bag at a time!

Food for Thought is back for the 2026–27 school year!

Our volunteers began packing bags this morning to help local children have food to eat over the weekend, when school meals aren’t available.

The impact adds up: in 2025, Food for Thought provided 107,624 pounds of food to children in our community; that’s more than 53 tons. Thank you to the volunteers and supporters who make each bag possible!

Each bag represents a child in our community and a group of volunteers who care. Thank you to everyone for helping us get this year’s program underway!

🚤 THANK YOU, MERCURY MARINE! 💙

A huge thank you to everyone at Mercury Marine for making this year’s Fill the Boat Food Drive such a wonderful success!

From organizing the event and collecting food to volunteering and encouraging others to give, the Mercury Marine team once again showed what can happen when our community comes together to help our neighbors.

This year's Fill the Boat brought 1,758 pounds of food to the pantry as well as funds that will be used to purchase even more food!

Every item collected helps stock the shelves at Fondy Food Pantry and ensures that individuals and families throughout Fond du Lac County have access to the food they need.

We are incredibly grateful for Mercury Marine’s continued partnership, generosity, and commitment to fighting hunger in our community.

♻️ A HUGE SUCCESS FOR OUR COMMUNITY! ♻️
Saturday’s Electronics Recycling Event was an incredible success! Thanks to the tremendous response from our community, several semi-trailers were filled with electronics for responsible recycling, keeping these items out of landfills and giving them a new purpose.

Even better, participants generously donated 754 pounds of food to Fondy Food Pantry!
Those donations will go directly onto our shelves to help provide nutritious food for neighbors experiencing food insecurity throughout Fond du Lac County.

A very special THANK YOU to AJ Recycling for partnering with us to make this event possible! We greatly appreciate your commitment to responsible recycling and your support of Fondy Food Pantry and the neighbors we serve.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who brought electronics, donated food, volunteered, and helped make the day such a success. We love seeing our community come together to make a difference for our neighbors and our environment!
