About Us
The Watertown Food Pantry is located in Watertown, Wisconsin and is a a non-profit, Christian-based organization created to provide food needs at no cost to those individuals and families residing in the Watertown School District.
Food Shelf & Refrigerator
The Watertown Food Pantry has one large shelf of food ready for distribution to needy individuals and families. Perishable items are kept in a large refrigerator and meat is kept in a large freezer. When visiting the pantry, patrons may select needed food items from what is available. Even though much food is donated or received from government surplus, the Food Pantry still purchases approximately 50% of what is distributed each day.
Donation Room
Donations to the Watertown Food Pantry are delivered to Immanuel Lutheran Church and left in the "donation room" in the lower level of the church. After signing the clipboard indicating where donations are from, bags and boxes of donations are left on the table inside the room. Throughout the week volunteers count each item donated. After expiration dates are checked, everything is sorted by category to make it easier when stocking the shelves in the food pantry.
