Helping Those Around UsAbout St. Stephen's Food Pantry
Since 1978, this pantry has provided food for thousands of families throughout Monona and the greater Madison area. St. Stephen’s offers a ‘choice’ pantry, which means that clients do their own shopping, selecting only the items they will use. We believe giving people choice honors our clients’ dignity and eliminates the waste of unused items.
