Better Facilities Help Feed More Families

2026 Core Grant: $75,000 for Breadbasket capital improvements

Food pantries are often among the most practical forms of care in a community. When families face a hard month, a job loss, rising grocery costs, or an unexpected crisis, access to food can bring immediate relief.

The Breadbasket has served Milton-Freewater for decades, providing emergency food assistance to local households. Its work is steady, necessary, and deeply rooted in the community.

The Milton-Freewater Kiwanis Foundation’s support for capital improvements at the Breadbasket will help protect and strengthen that work. Food assistance depends on more than donations. It also depends on safe, functional buildings, reliable storage, efficient equipment, and spaces that allow volunteers and staff to serve people well.

Investing in the pantry’s facility is an investment in the community’s ability to respond to hunger with dignity and consistency.

Sherwood Trust is proud to support the Milton-Freewater Kiwanis Foundation’s work to improve the Breadbasket food pantry through a 2026 Core Grant.
