🎉 Transformational Gift Advances The FOOD Pantry's Future 🎉

We are thrilled to announce a generous $250,000 donation from First Presbyterian Church of Waukesha in support of The FOOD Pantry's No Neighbor Hungry Capital Campaign.

This remarkable investment brings us one step closer to transforming our newly purchased building into a purpose-designed food pantry—creating a welcoming, dignified, and efficient space to serve the growing numbers of individuals and families facing food insecurity throughout our community.

The support of First Presbyterian Church of Waukesha reflects a shared commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious food and compassionate care when they need it most. According to Andrew Byshenk - Clerk of Session for First Presbyterian Church:

"First Presbyterian Church has been faithfully serving the people of Waukesha for 180 years. This donation is a way to use our resources to meet the church's mission to feed the hungry and to love our neighbor. Our appreciation goes out to all who help The Food Pantry Serving Waukesha County succeed. We are grateful that our church has been blessed to be able to contribute to our community in this way."

We are deeply grateful for this leadership gift and the partnership of First Presbyterian Church as we work together to build a stronger, healthier community for generations to come.

It is with deep sadness and profound respect that we share the passing of retired City of Brookfield Police Chief Jerome "Jerry" Wolff. Chief Wolff served the City of Brookfield Police Department, starting as a police officer in 1958 and eventually serving as Chief of Police from 1974 until his retirement in 1994. Chief Wolff was an accomplished and dedicated policing professional. His leadership and commitment to selfless service helped shape the City of Brookfield Police Department, enhance public safety, and set an outstanding example for future generations.
