URGENT UPDATE: The City of West Allis is calling on residents to act NOW as it launches a vital year-end food drive benefiting local food pantries. The community initiative is aimed at collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations until December 31.
As households grapple with the soaring costs of groceries amid ongoing economic pressures, this food drive seeks to provide immediate relief to the community’s most vulnerable members. “This drive is a chance to come together and provide real, tangible support to our neighbors who need it most,” emphasized the City of West Allis on their official social media platforms.
The drive is accepting a variety of suggested non-perishable items, including canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, beans, rice, and peanut butter. Each contribution helps ensure that those in need have access to balanced nutrition during this critical time.
Residents can drop off donations at several designated locations throughout the city, including City Hall, the West Allis Police Department, and the West Allis Farmers Market. A full list of drop-off sites can be found on the city’s social media pages, with updates on additional locations to be announced shortly.
For those who wish to make monetary contributions, the Community Impact Partnership & Foundation, a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is overseeing financial donations. Contributions are tax-deductible and can be made either by check—mailed to City Hall—or online through a secure link provided by the Foundation.
Even small donations can have a significant impact, filling pantries and easing the burden on families struggling to make ends meet. The City of West Allis encourages every resident to step up, emphasizing that collective action can transform individual kindness into community strength.
This urgent drive underscores the critical role of community solidarity during challenging times. With only days left until the end of the year, every donation counts. West Allis urges residents to join this essential effort to ensure no one in the community faces hardship alone.
