The Random Lake Area Interfaith Food Pantry has shown resiliance, foresight and compassion in serving the needs of a rural area north of Milwaukee. By setting aside money early in the economic downturn the pantry has been able to continue serving clients at the same or higher level of service, even as the number of clients surged 63% over a four year span. The pantry has also evolved, providing more choices in foods for clients, and has worked to develop networks of support within the community that encourage students, farmers, gardeners, and the clients themselves to become sources for food and support. I am proud to be affiliated with this organization, which has support from numerous local churches of all denominations, and which is the only agency getting an increase in support for 2013 from the local United Fund campaign.
