Salvation Army food pantries 'available to serve those unemployed or rendered unemployed by shutdown'

WAUWATOSA -- The partial government shutdown prompted the Salvation Army of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan to make changes to food pantry visit requirements.

"All of our Salvation Army food pantries in the State of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are available to serve those who are unemployed or rendered unemployed by the shutdown," said Major Steve Merritt, the divisional commander for The Salvation Army of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. "All government employees need to do is show up and show their government issued ID card."

According to a news release from the Salvation Army, each food pantry has its own hours, and not every type of food is available at every pantry, so you're encouraged to please call in advance.

"With the expected additional usage, there will be some strain on the pantries, so we are also gratefully accepting contributions from those who can do so," Merritt said.
