Joanna Gonzalez's Company Details
MOM is a local non-profit organization that leads a community-wide effort to prevent homelessness and end hunger by providing food, clothing, housing assistance, emergency financial assistance, seasonal help such as school supplies, and special services for seniors. MOM hosts one of the largest food pantry in Dane County.Our vision is "Preventing Homelessness, Ending Hunger"MOM was established as Middleton Outreach Ministry in 1980 by a local church to care for the basic needs of some of the area's residents. Over time, multiple faith congregations joined forces to meet the growing demand in and around the area. In 2007, with demand continuing to increase, MOM transitioned into a business-based organization both at the Board and leadership levels. Through the support of business partners, area schools and faith communities, as well as numerous individuals and service organizations, MOM provides - free of charge - food, clothing, housing assistance, emergency financial assistance, and special services for seniors. Every day the food pantry is open, we distribute 200+ bags of food. The MOM food pantry garden is home to "client plots" where our customers are learning to grow food. Some of their produce is donated back to the food pantry and the rest feeds their families.
