Free food pantries in Outagamie County.
There are several places to turn to for free food in Outagamie County. Assistance is available from charities ranging from regional non-profit organizations to local churches which may operate food pantries. Any emergency boxes of groceries will generally feed a family for a few days while they explore other programs.
The pantries are located across the county. However sometimes residents may need to cross over to other nearby towns to get the help they need.
