The Bridge Food and Diaper Bank

06/05/2026

Steve, Carl, and John from The Bridge, Jack from Big Foot Food Pantry, and Linette from East Troy Food Pantry were all on deck this morning — waiting together for the semi‑truck delivery of TEFAP supplies from Second Harvest.

These shared deliveries are a powerful reminder of what happens when local pantries work side‑by‑side to support our neighbors. From unloading pallets to stocking shelves, this team effort helps ensure families across Walworth County have access to nutritious food when they need it most.

TEFAP = The Emergency Food Assistance Program — a vital resource that strengthens our entire hunger‑relief network.

Grateful for the teamwork. Grateful for the partnership. Grateful for this community. 💛

A heartfelt thank‑you to our friends at Conagra Brands in Darien for hosting an incredible food and diaper drive in support of The Bridge!

Across five shifts, their 770 employees came together in true community spirit — donating an amazing 428 pounds of food and diapers to help local families in need.

This is what compassion in action looks like. This is neighbors helping neighbors. And this is the kind of partnership that strengthens our entire community.

To everyone at Conagra: thank you for showing up, giving generously, and making a real difference for families across Walworth County. 💛

Our Sustaining Donors — and everyone who gave in May — YOU are the magic behind The Bridge. 💛✨

We put together a little video to celebrate the people who keep families fed, diapered, supported, and surrounded with love. Your generosity doesn’t just fill shelves… it fills hearts.

🌟 Cheering On Our Lakeland School Athletes!

We love any chance to celebrate our community — and this one is extra special.

On Wednesday, June 3rd at 2:10 p.m., Lakeland School’s Special Olympics athletes will receive an escorted send‑off through Elkhorn, thanks to the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office. Their route will take them from Lakeland School down County Road NN, onto Wisconsin St., and around the square as they head to the Olympic Games in Whitewater, WI.

We’d love to see our supporters line the sidewalks, clap, cheer, and lift these incredible athletes up. Bring a sign, bring your voice, bring your joy — let’s make sure they feel the love from the entire community.

These students have worked hard, pushed themselves, and shown what true determination looks like. Let’s honor them the way they deserve.

Go Lakeland athletes — your community is behind you all the way!
Here is a short video from last year.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

🍔 National Hamburger Day feels like the perfect excuse to talk about food, summer, and community. (And honestly… now we all want a cheeseburger. 🍔😅)

But while many of us are planning cookouts and backyard gatherings, summer can be stressful for families when school meal programs end and grocery costs keep climbing.

That’s why The Bridge Food & Diaper Bank keeps doing what we do — helping families with food, diapers, and support when they need it most. 💛

Because everybody deserves a full plate and a little less stress this summer.

Now let’s settle this:
👇 BEST cookout side dish of all time?
Potato salad? Chips? Watermelon? Baked beans? Mac & cheese?

Choose carefully. People will judge. 😂
