About the New Berlin Food Pantry – a 501 (c)(3) organization
The New Berlin Women’s Club started distribution of federal food in 1986. In order to continue receiving this distribution they needed a regular location and weekly operations. The club moved into a space at Hickory Grove in 1989 and focused on running a food pantry. The pantry moved into its current location in 2007 and serves clients living in New Berlin, Brookfield and Elm Grove. Funds were donated by a local resident to build the garage for storage. The pantry provides Easter baskets for children (thanks to NB Lions), Thanksgiving turkeys (thanks to NB police and fire), Christmas hams (thanks to NB police and fire) and school supplies (thanks to Holy Apostles and individuals). The pantry is staffed 100% by volunteers. They serve clients on Wednesdays from 12 noon to 5:15 pm and accept donations on that day from 9 am to 5 pm. They are located at 14750 W. Cleveland Avenue in the community center. They express their gratitude for strong community support from businesses, churches, school groups, service groups, the local police and fire departments and individuals.
Thank you for your contributions!

Migrant Ministry
In our migrant community, just like others, many have lost their jobs. However, unlike most of us, many migrants and their families will not be receiving a stimulus check, even though many pay into our income tax system. The Migrant Ministry is supporting the Migrant MKE Food Drive to help these families not go hungry. We are collecting non-perishable food items such as flour, oil, beans, rice, cereal and canned goods. These can be either dropped off at 13320 W North Lane, New Berlin, or if you need it picked up, please contact Joanna Boey at 262-853-4033 or Send us a message.
