Bring a Food Donation on Thanksgiving

We’re partnering with Friends with Food to support local families this season. Please bring a non-perishable item to early packet pickup or race-day pickup. Collection bins will be at check-in and near the finish.

Suggested items

• Canned proteins (tuna, chicken, beans
• Nut butters, pasta, rice, soup, chili
• Boxed meals, cereal, oatmeal
• Shelf-stable milk, canned fruit/veggies

Helpful notes

• No glass jars if possible

• Please check expiration dates

• Single-serve or easy-open items are extra useful

Thank you for making a difference—one mile and one meal at a time.

About Friends with Food:

Friends with Food is a nonprofit food pantry founded by Executive Director Rochelle Gamauf whose mission began in 2020 by serving food to those who have food insecurities in Southeastern Wisconsin. Currently we help over 360 families every week! Since we receive no government assistance, food rescue, corporate sponsorship, private donations, and fundraising are the only resources we rely on. 

Our operation is unique as we are a “choice pantry.”  If you are in need, we will provide you food. Period. Come take a shopping cart and pick what foods you are in need of - just make an appointment for a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday to come in. 

We are very proud of our accomplishments since 2020:
OVER 1.5 million pounds of food distributed 
OVER 17,175 CHILDREN FED
OVER 50,000 PEOPLE FED
OVER 6000 SENIORS FED
OVER 2000 VETERANS FED

Get involved!! 
Volunteer individually or organize a corporate volunteer group on any day that the pantry is open. 

• Donate $40/month so we can feed a family of four
• Sponsor our next fundraising event
• Private donations are always welcomed whether it’s monthly, annually or a lump sum. 
• Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change the world for one person!!
