Broken Bread Food Pantry, situated close to downtown Fond du Lac, has been

operating for over three decades. Each Friday, from 1-5 p.m., it serves 600-700

individuals, 31,167 people were served in 2023, 9,865 were children. 

With an average of 25 volunteers per month, the pantry relies on their support for food

preparation, organization, and distribution. Collaborations with local entities, like the

Blandine House and the seminary in Mount Calvary, contribute to the smooth operation

of the pantry.

Operating as a low barrier pantry, Broken Bread does not mandate ID checks or

paperwork from clients, making it ineligible for government subsidy programs.

Donations are utilized to procure proteins, fresh produce, and dairy, emphasizing the

importance of offering healthy food choices to combat health issues like diabetes and

heart disease.
