We Energies Foundation Unites With Green Cares Food Pantry To Combat Hunger

The We Energies Foundation, through its grant award, is uniting with the Green Cares Food Pantry to combat food insecurity throughout Green County.
The We Energies Foundation, established in 1982, strives to create brighter futures for communities in Wisconsin and Michigan. It has invested more than $160 million in support of activities of nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations in communities that are served by We Energies. The Foundation is funded by stockholders of WEC Energy Group, the parent company of We Energies. The Green Cares Board of Directors, led by Chairperson Jan Olson, is very pleased the Foundation is joining the pantry’s efforts to combat hunger.
Green Cares Food Pantry, located just outside of Monticello, is the largest food pantry in Green County, serving low-income Green County households. During 2017, Green Cares served 3,173 households comprised of 9,611 individuals.
Green Cares’ hours of operation are Tuesdays from 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m., and on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, the pantry has expanded hours, open from 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. – Noon; and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
If you know of someone that needs assistance, please encourage them to call (608) 938-4238 to schedule a confidential appointment with a Green Cares volunteer.
Green Cares Food Pantry, a United Way of Green County beneficiary, is run entirely by volunteers. During 2017, over 5,200 hours were donated by 188 volunteers.
Green Cares exists through the financial support of individual and corporate donors, and foundation grants such as the We Energies Foundation grant.
